Refilling With Nozzles
You can fill up at any Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) distributor.
Proceed as follows:
or
Insert the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
Ÿ
nozzle in the filler, start refilling and stop
refilling at the first shut-off (the shut-off
indicates that the Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) tank is full). Do not proceed with
the refilling, to prevent spillage of Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
Ÿ Extract the nozzle.
Refilling With Containers
Proceed as follows:
Ÿ Check the expiration date.
Ÿ Read the advice for use on the label before
pouring the content of the bottle into the
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank.
Ÿ If systems which cannot be screwed in (e.g.
tanks) are used for refilling, after the
indication appears on the instrument panel
display refer to "Warning lights And
Messages" in the "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further information,
fill the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank
with no more than 8 liters.
If containers which can be screwed to the
Ÿ
filler are used, the reservoir is full when
the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) level in the
container stops pouring out. Do not
proceed further.
Operations After Refilling
Proceed as follows:
Ÿ Fit the cap back on the Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely.
Ÿ Place the ignition to ON POSITION (it is
not necessary to start the engine).
Ÿ Wait for the indication on the instrument
panel to switch off before moving the car.
The indication may stay on for a few
seconds to approximately half a minute. If
the engine is started and the car is moved,
the indication will remain on for longer.
This will not compromise engine
operation.
Ÿ If the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) was
topped up when the tank was empty, wait
for few minutes, until the warning light
goes OFF and then start the engine.
