BMW Advanced Diesel
Concept
BMW Advanced Diesel reduces nitrogen ox‐
ides in the diesel emissions by injecting diesel
exhaust fluid into the exhaust system. A chem‐
ical reaction takes place inside the catalytic
converter that minimizes nitrogen oxides.
General information
The vehicle has two tanks, the The active tank
can be refilled in the engine compartment. The
passive tank is refilled by a dealer’s service
center or another qualified service center or re‐
pair shop within the course of regular mainte‐
nance.
To be able to start the engine as usual, there
must be an adequate diesel exhaust fluid.
Diesel exhaust fluid is available at many gas
stations.
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 ℃.
At temperatures below +12 ℉/-11 ℃, the filling
level cannot be measured in some cases.
At low temperatures, add diesel exhaust fluid
only immediately before driving off.
Warming up the system
In order to warm the engine up to its operating
temperature after a cold start, the Steptronic
transmission may subsequently shift up to the
next higher gear.
Displays in the instrument cluster
Reserve indication
This display in the instrument cluster provides
information about the distance that can still be
driven with the current reserve level.
Do not continue driving to the limit of the re‐
maining travel distance. It is not possible to re‐
start the engine after switching it off.
Light white: refill with diesel
exhaust fluid at the next op‐
portunity.
Light yellow: not enough
diesel exhaust fluid present.
The remaining range is dis‐
played in the instrument
cluster. Immediately refill
with diesel exhaust fluid.
Diesel exhaust fluid on minimum
The remaining range is dis‐
played in the instrument cluster:
add diesel exhaust fluid. The en‐
gine will continue to run as long
as it is not switched off and all
other operating conditions are satisfied; suffi‐
cient fuel, for instance.
System malfunction
A Check Control message is displayed when
there is a system not working.
Visit the nearest dealer’s service center or an‐
other qualified service center or repair shop.
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, for instance if the vehicle is
driven in a particularly sporty style or if it is
driven at high altitudes.
