DEF level

Can I check the DEF level on my 2012 ford F250 PU in the menu options any way?

if you have the center display instrument panel, you can scroll through and see the DEF but not as a percentage. It will give you a few different indications from full to a mileage left to reduce power.

Not sure how it is displayed on the basic instrument panel.

Your owner's manual will tell you how to view it. If no owner's manual, you can download one here.

there is full, under 1/2 and then it starts a count down.


I think for 2011/2012 it starts at 800 miles to empty.


2013 and beyond it is 500 to empty
