Low Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Level Detected
here are five warning stages displayed in the IC message center. Each warning progresses, until a final 'No Engine Restart Possible' warning is displayed.
If the DEF fluid is not replenished within this distance, and the engine is turned off, the vehicle will fail to start. In this event customers can use two standard size refill bottles as a short term solution to restart the vehicle, a complete refill of the DEF tank will still be required by an authorized Jaguar dealer.
