If the DEF level becomes too low or
incorrect fluid is added to the DEF
tank, the warning buzzer will sound,
warning and indicator lights will
come on and engine power will be
reduced. If you see these warning
and indicator lights, add DEF as
soon as possible or have your
vehicle serviced as soon as
possible.
Continuing to drive for too long after
these lights come on will result in
additional warnings, more engine
power reduction and will eventually
result in a severe vehicle speed
limitation. See“Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) Low Level Warning” and
“Incorrect Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF)/SCR System Malfunction
Warnings” later in this section.
{Warning
Do not touch the water that
comes out from the muffler. The
water is mildly acidified due to the
action of oxidation catalyst inside
the muffler. In the event that the
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
fluid does come into contact with
your skin, completely wash it off
with water. You and others could
be seriously injured.
Do not relocate or modify the
exhaust pipe, muffler, DPF, SCR,
or DEF tank, which may affect the
exhaust gas cleaning performance.
If any relocation or modification is
necessary, consult your dealer.
The SCR system continues to
operate for approximately 3 minutes
after the engine control switch is
turned to the "LOCK" position. It is
normal to hear a buzzing type noise
from the DEF supply pump
(mounted on the left side frame rail
behind the cab) during the
shutdown process.
If it is necessary to disconnect the
batteries for any reason, be sure to
wait at least 3 minutes after turning
the engine control switch to the
"LOCK" position. This will allow the SCR system to properly complete
its shutdown processes. See

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Low
Level Warning
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a
required fluid for the operation of
your diesel engine just as diesel fuel
is required. To avoid running out of
DEF your vehicle will turn on
warning and indicator lights and
reduce engine power in progressive
stages to encourage adding DEF.
The following is a summary of the
diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) low level
warning lights, indicator lights and
engine power reductions.
Continuing to drive for too long after
these lights come on will eventually
result in a severe vehicle speed
limitation.
These warning and indicator lights
will go out automatically and engine
power will be restored to normal
after the SCR system detects that
the DEF tank is refilled with DEF.
