nance.
To be able to start the engine as usual, there

A Check Control message is displayed when
there is a system not working.
Have the diesel exhaust fluid
replenished
BMW recommends that diesel exhaust fluid be
added by the dealer’s service center within the
course of regular maintenance.
In addition it may be necessary to have the
fluid replenished several times under particular
circumstances, e.g., if the vehicle is driven in a
particularly sporty style or if it is driven at high
altitudes.
The diesel exhaust fluid must be replenished
as soon as the reserve display appears in the
instrument cluster to avoid not being able to
restart the engine.
Diesel exhaust fluid at low
temperatures
Due to its physical properties, it is possible
that the diesel exhaust fluid may also need to
be replenished between regular maintenance
appointments if it is exposed to temperatures
under + 23 ℉/- 5 ℃. In this case, add diesel ex‐
haust fluid only immediately before driving off.
At temperatures below + 12 ℉/- 11 ℃, the fill‐
ing level cannot be measured in some cases.
Replenishing diesel exhaust fluid
yourself in exceptional cases
General information

in exceptional cases, e.g., to get to your sched‐
uled service.
