In order to get your vehicle to reach the nearest 
BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center, you may 
refill the diesel exhaust fluid yourself, making 
sure to heed the warning notices.

Do not allow diesel exhaust fluid to come 
into contact with you. This can lead to 

skin and eye irritation. Wear protective goggles 
and gloves as needed. Follow the safety 
instructions on the bottle.
When opening the bottle or reservoir, pungent 
smelling vapors can escape. Before refilling, 
close the vehicle completely so that the vapors 
do not get into the interior of the vehicle. When 
handling diesel exhaust fluid in enclosed 
spaces, make sure to have sufficient ventilation.
After handling diesel exhaust fluid, wash hands 
thoroughly. Failure to do so may lead to irrita-
tion, e.g. due to inadvertent contact with the 
eyes.
If eye irritation occurs, immediately rinse eyes 
with ample water and contact a doctor if neces-
sary.
If diesel exhaust fluid comes into contact with 
surfaces of your vehicle, rinse the affected sur-
faces with water or else damage may occur.
Keep diesel exhaust fluid out of reach of chil-
dren.
