Malfunction indicator lamp.
Service engine soon warning
lamp.
Continuing to drive your vehicle may cause
reduced power or the engine to stop.
Failure to respond to a warning lamp may
cause component damage not covered by
the vehicle Warranty. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
See Warning Lamps and Indicators
(page 95).
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTANT SYSTEM - 3.2L
DIESEL
Your vehicle has a selective catalytic
reductant system to help reduce exhaust
emission levels by injecting diesel exhaust
fluid (AdBlue®) into the exhaust system.
The engine may not start if you tamper
with or disable the selective catalytic
reductant system.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue)
Guidelines
• Do not put in the vehicle fuel tank. This
can cause engine damage not covered
by the vehicle Warranty.
• Do not overfill the tank.
• Do not dilute with water or any other
liquid.
• Do not re-use an empty fluid container.
• Do not store in direct sunlight.
• Store at temperatures between
23°F
(-5°C) and 68°F (20°C).
• Do not store fluid containers in your
vehicle.
• The fluid is non-flammable, non-toxic,
colorless and water-soluble. Warning Lamps and Messages If the system detects a fault, a
warning lamp illuminates in the
instrument cluster
The warning lamp illuminates under the
following possible conditions:
• Low fluid level.
• Selective catalytic reductant system
malfunction or contamination.
Note: If the warning lamp illuminates, the
information display messages give you an
indication whether the concern is fluid
related or if there is a selective catalytic
reductant system malfunction. See
Information Messages
(page 103). If the
warning lamp illuminates when your vehicle
is moving, and the fluid is at a sufficient
level, this indicates a system malfunction.
Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue)
Level
For the system to correctly operate, you
must maintain the fluid level. The
minimum fluid refill quantity required to
restart the engine is
1.5 gal (5.7 L). See
Information Messages (page 103).
Note: If your vehicle is on a gradient, the
minimum fluid refill quantity required to
restart the engine may be greater than
1.5 gal (5.7 L)
.

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(AdBlue) Tank
WARNING: Refill the diesel exhaust
fluid (AdBlue) tank in a well-ventilated
area. When removing the tank cap or a
container cap, ammonia vapor may
escape. Ammonia vapor is an irritant to the
eyes, skin and mucous membranes.
Inhaling ammonia vapor can cause burning
to the eyes, throat and nose resulting in
watering eyes or severe coughing. WARNING:
Do not allow diesel
exhaust fluid (AdBlue) to come into
contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Should
the fluid come into contact with eyes, flush
them with plenty of water and seek
medical attention. Clean affected skin with
soap and water. If swallowed, drink plenty
of water and seek medical attention
immediately. The diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) tank filler
neck is next to the fuel filler neck and has
a blue cap. Fill the tank using a fluid pump
at a diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) filling
station or a diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue)
container. The capacity of the diesel
exhaust fluid (AdBlue) tank is
5.8 gal
(22 L).
Note: Wash off any fluid that may have
spilled on to a painted surface with soapy
water.
Filling at a Fuel Station
Filling the diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue)
tank using a fuel station pump is similar to
refueling your vehicle. The pump nozzle
shuts off when the tank is full.

Operate the diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue)
pump nozzle within the area shown.
Note:
Difficulty in filling using a diesel
exhaust fluid (AdBlue) pump may be due
to the filling equipment being contaminated.
To overcome this issue, use an alternative
filling station or a refill container.
Filling Using a Container
Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
1. Remove the diesel exhaust fluid container cap. Place the spout on to
the container and tighten it until you
feel a strong resistance.
2. Remove the diesel exhaust fluid tank filler cap.
3. Insert the spout in to the filler neck until
the seal on the spout seats on to the
filler neck. Pour the fluid into the tank.
The fluid stops flowing when the tank
is full. 4. Return the container to the vertical
position slightly below the diesel
exhaust fluid filler neck. Allow any fluid
remaining in the spout to drain back
into the container.
5. Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid filler neck. Replace the
diesel exhaust fluid tank filler cap.
6. Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid container and replace the
cap.
Note: If there is any fluid left in the
container, retain it for later use.
Note: The spout is re-useable. Wash the
spout with clean water prior to storage. Do
not use the spout with any other fluid.
Filling in Cold Climates
Diesel exhaust fluid may freeze when the
temperature is below 12°F (-11°C). Your
vehicle has a preheating system which
allows the fluid to operate below
12°F
(-11°C). If you overfill the diesel exhaust
fluid (AdBlue) tank and the fluid freezes,
it may cause damage not covered by the
vehicle Warranty.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
- 3.2L DIESEL WARNING:
Do not park or idle your
vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The regeneration
process creates very high exhaust gas
temperatures and the exhaust will radiate
a considerable amount of heat during and
after regeneration and after you have
switched the engine off. This is a potential
fire hazard.
