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 94).
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTANT SYSTEM
Your vehicle has a selective catalytic
reductant system to help reduce exhaust
emission levels by injecting diesel exhaust
fluid into the exhaust system. The engine
may not start if you tamper with or disable
the selective catalytic reductant system.
For the system to correctly operate, you
must maintain the fluid level. The
minimum fluid refill quantity required to
restart the engine is
1.3 gal (5 L).
Note: If your vehicle is on a gradient, the
minimum fluid refill quantity required to
restart the engine may be greater than
1.3 gal (5 L)
.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid 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.
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Tank The diesel exhaust fluid tank filler pipe is
next to the fuel tank filler pipe and has a
blue cap. Fill the tank using a fluid pump
at a diesel exhaust fluid filling station or a
diesel exhaust fluid container.

Only use diesel exhaust fluid that is
certified by the American Petroleum
Institute (API). Non-certified diesel
exhaust fluid use can cause damage not
covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Note:
Wash off any fluid that may have
spilled on to a painted surface with soapy
water.
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 tank and the fluid freezes, it may
cause damage not covered by the vehicle
Warranty.
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Tank Using a Fuel Station Pump WARNING:
Keep diesel exhaust
fluid out of reach of children. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. In
case of contact with your eyes, flush
immediately with water and get prompt
medical attention. In case of contact
with your skin, clean immediately with
soap and water. If you swallow any
diesel exhaust fluid, drink plenty of
water, call a physician immediately. WARNING:
Only refill the diesel
exhaust fluid tank in a well ventilated
area. When you remove the diesel
exhaust fluid tank filler cap or a diesel
exhaust fluid container cap, ammonia
vapors may escape. Ammonia vapors
can be irritating to skin, eyes and mucous
membranes. Inhaling ammonia vapors
can cause burning to the eyes, throat and
nose and cause coughing and watery
eyes. Filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank using
a fuel station pump is similar to refueling
your vehicle.
1. Fully open the fuel filler door.
2. Remove the diesel exhaust fluid tank
filler cap.
3. Fully insert the diesel exhaust fluid pump nozzle. 4. Operate the pump nozzle within the
area shown.
Note: The pump nozzle shuts off when the
tank is full.
5. Slightly raise the diesel exhaust fluid pump nozzle and then slowly remove
it.

TRAILER SWAY CONTROL
If the trailer begins to sway the stability
control warning lamp flashes in the
information display. The system applies
the brakes to the individual wheels and
reduces engine torque to aid vehicle
stability.
Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so. Check the vertical weight on the tow
ball and trailer load distribution. See
Capacities and Specifications (page
337). See Load Carrying (page 229).
Note: This feature does not prevent trailer
sway, but reduces it once it begins.
Note: This feature cannot stop all trailers
from swaying.
Note: In some cases, if your vehicle speed
is too high, the system may turn on multiple
times, gradually reducing your vehicle speed.
RECOMMENDED TOWING
WEIGHTS
Your vehicle may tow a trailer. The
maximum loaded trailer weight
must be less than or equal to the
maximum loaded trailer weight
listed for your vehicle
configuration on the following
chart.
Do not exceed the maximum
loaded trailer weight for your
vehicle configuration listed in the
chart below. Note:
Make sure you take the
trailer frontal area into
consideration, do not exceed 20
feet² (1.86 meters²). Towing a
trailer that exceeds this frontal area
reduces the performance and fuel
economy of your vehicle when
towing. Select a trailer that has a
rounded front and an aerodynamic
design.
Note: For high altitude operation,
reduce the gross combined weight
by 2% per 1,000 ft (300 m)
starting at the 1,000 ft (300 m)
elevation point.
Note: Certain states require
electric trailer brakes for trailers
over a specified weight. Be sure to
check state regulations for this
specified weight. The maximum
loaded trailer weights listed may
be limited to this specified weight,
as the vehicle ’s electrical system
may not include the wiring
connector needed to activate
electric trailer brakes.
