WARNING: Tampering with ordisabling the selective catalyticreduction system results in severevehicle performance limitation includingeventual speed limiting to 5 mph(8 km/h).
Note: Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in thefuel tank. Do not start the engine if anyamount of diesel exhaust fluid was addedto the diesel fuel tank as it will likely lead tofailure of the fuel pump and injectors andmay result in severe engine damage whichyour vehicle Warranty may not cover. Thediesel fuel tank must be completely drainedand cleaned prior to being refilled with cleandiesel fuel and starting the engine.
Selective catalytic reduction systems aresensitive to contamination of the dieselexhaust fluid. Maintaining the purity of thefluid is important to avoid systemmalfunctions. If you remove or drain thediesel exhaust fluid tank, do not use thesame fluid to refill the tank. The systemhas a sensor to monitor fluid quality.
Driving without refilling, replacingcontaminated diesel exhaust fluid, orhaving the selective catalytic reductionsystem repaired results in the followingactions as required by the California AirResources Board (CARB) and the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
•Within a preset distance to empty,speed is limited upon vehicle restart.Prior to this occurring a messageappears in the information display.
•Further vehicle operation withoutrefilling or replacing contaminateddiesel exhaust fluid causes the engineto enter an idle-only condition. Thisonly occurs upon vehicle refueling,vehicle idling in park for 1 hour, orengine shutdown for 10 minutes ormore and is indicated by a message inthe information display indicatingrequired actions to resume normaloperation. It is required to add aminimum of 1.0 gal (3.8 L) of dieselexhaust fluid to the tank to exit theidle-only condition, but your vehicle isstill in the speed-limiting mode untilyou refill the tank completely.
Note:For vehicle speed limiting or idle-onlycondition, normal vehicle operation resumeswhen you refill the diesel exhaust fluid tankor repair the contaminated system. If thesystem is contaminated or inoperative, haveyour vehicle checked as soon as possible.
