Displays in the instrument
cluster
Reserve level indicator
The reserve level indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you of the remaining distance
which can be travelled with the current level.
Do not use up all of the displayed distance, oth‐
erwise it might not be possible to re-establish
drive-ready state after parking.
▷ White light: top up reduction
agent at next opportunity.
▷ Yellow light: not enough re‐
duction agent available. Re‐
maining range is shown in in‐
strument cluster. Immediately
top up reduction agent, see
page
335 .
AdBlue on the minimum level
Remaining range is shown in in‐
strument cluster. Replenish with
at least 10 litres of reduction
agent. Engine continues to run, as
long as it is not stopped and all
other operating conditions are met, for example,
enough fuel.
System fault
If there is a system fault, a Check Control mes‐
sage is displayed.
Visit the nearest Service Partner of the manufac‐
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop.
AdBlue topping up
BMW recommends having the reduction agent
replenished by a Service Partner as part of a reg‐
ular maintenance schedule.
If you keep to this maintenance schedule, a sin‐
gle top-up is generally required between the
maintenance appointments.
Under certain circumstances – for example, due
to a particularly dynamic driving style – topping
up between maintenance appointments more
than once may be necessary.
As soon as the reserve level indicator is shown in
the instrument cluster, have the reduction agent
topped up, to prevent drive-ready state from no
longer being able to be established.
Topping up AdBlue yourself
Safety notes
WARNING
When the reduction agent container is opened,
small quantities of ammonia vapours can
emerge. Ammonia vapours have a pungent
smell and irritate the skin, mucous membranes
and eyes. There is a danger of injury. Do not in‐
hale ammonia vapours. Do not allow reduction
agent to come into contact with clothing, skin
or eyes, and do not swallow it. Keep children
away from reduction agents.
WARNING
Service products, for example oils, greases,
coolants and fuels, can contain substances that
are harmful to health. There is a danger of in‐
jury or even death. Please comply with the in‐
structions on the containers. Do not allow serv‐
ice products to come into contact with clothing,
skin or eyes. Do not pour service products into
other bottles. Keep service products out of the
reach of children.
