Refilling diesel exhaust fluid in
exceptional cases
To be able to reach the next BMW center, you

exhaust fluid as it can lead to skin or eye

sary. Follow the safety instructions on the bot-

doors of the vehicle to prevent the vapors from

hands thoroughly; otherwise, for example, inad-
vertently touching your eyes may lead to eye
irritations.
