If that is true, they need to reprint the Diesel supplement. The below is from the 2nd printing of the 2014 supplement:

Continued driving without refilling will
result in the following actions as required
by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA):
• Within a certain number of miles
(kilometers) to empty, speed will be
limited upon vehicle restart. Prior to
this occurring a message will appear in
the information display.
• Further vehicle operation without
refilling your diesel exhaust fluid tank
will cause the engine to enter an
idle-only condition. This will only occur
upon vehicle refueling or at an
extended idle. A message will indicate
the required actions to resume normal
operation. It is required to add a
minimum of 0.5 gallons (1.9L) of diesel
exhaust fluid to the tank to exit the
idle-only condition, but your vehicle will
still be in the speed-limiting mode until
you refill the tank completely.
For either vehicle speed limiting or idle-only
condition, normal vehicle operation will
resume when you refill the diesel exhaust
fluid tank.

Note: When filling the diesel exhaust fluid
tank from empty, there may be a short delay
before detecting the increased level of fluid.
The increased level detection must occur
before your vehicle returns to full power.
