Have diesel exhaust fluid refilled

This

exhaust fluid is refilled by your service cen‐

ter during regular maintenance. If you adhere to

this maintenance schedule, it is usually not nec‐

essary to refill any fluids between the mainte‐

nance dates.

Under certain circumstances, for example, due

to a particularly sporty driving style or operation

of the vehicle at high altitudes, it may be neces‐

sary to refill fluids between maintenance dates.

As soon as the reserve display has appeared in

the instrument panel, have the diesel exhaust

fluid refilled to prevent the engine from being

unable to restart.

You can have the fluid refilled by a service cen‐

ter.

Diesel exhaust fluid at low

temperatures

Due to its physical properties, it may be neces‐

sary to replenish the level of diesel exhaust fluid

at temperatures below +23 ℉/ -5 ℃, even be‐

tween the regular maintenance dates.

If the fluid needs to be refilled, this will be indi‐

cated with the reserve display in the instrument

cluster, refer to page 249.

Only refill the diesel exhaust fluid

yourself in exceptional circumstances

To be able to reach the nearest service center

with your vehicle, you may refill the diesel ex‐

haust fluid yourself, making sure to heed the

warning notices specified below.

Handling diesel exhaust fluid

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 res‐

ervoir, pungent smelling vapors can escape. Be‐

fore 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 irritation, for instance, due to inadvertent

contact with the eyes. If eye irritation occurs,

immediately rinse eyes with ample water and

contact a doctor if necessary. If diesel exhaust

fluid comes into contact with surfaces of your

vehicle, rinse the affected surfaces with water or

else damage may occur. Keep diesel exhaust

fluid out of reach of children.◀

venient refilling with diesel exhaust fluid.
