Under most circumstances the active tank is keep pretty much filled by transferring DEF from the passive tank. You will receive a warning once the passive tank is empty and the active tank reaches a certain level to remind you to fill them. If the SCR system is not operating properly to met emissions standards - that is another issue and causes an "Incorrect Exhaust Fluid" warning. This should not be ignored and should be addressed by your dealer straight away.
