Apparently it's not expected by some readers that the gen2 diesel may provide no DEF warnings until there are just 300 miles to go. Another owner here indicated surprise, and I too expected way more than 300 miles warning.

Top off the DEF before you roadtrip!
Otherwise the car might decide that the first DEF warning (with 300-miles-to-go) and your enthusiastic first tentative clumsy DEF refill will be mandated to occur when you are in the middle of subzero windy blizzard conditions at a service area on I-90 near Erie & Buffalo.

An actual DEF gauge would be best, always displayed, just like fuel level. That would be a cool software change for the dashboard and would help to minimize refilling both diesel and DEF for 3000 mile drives during record setting subzero conditions with occasional blizzards.

Is DEF level available via OBD port? Hmm.......

Ancient Proverb adapted for your diesel cruze:

Before leaving on a mission of vengeance in your Gen 2 Cruze Diesel, dig two graves, and top off the DEF .
