LPG fuel gauge
4
During the refuelling procedure, noises ge nerated through refuelling with LPG are not
critical.
WARNING
•
When refuelling with LPG, smoking and working with a naked flame are
prohibited - risk of explosion!
•
For vehicles with auxiliary heating: Switch of f the auxiliary heating.
•
Incorrect refuelling or improper handling of LPG can cause a fire, an explo-
sion and can lead to injuries.
•
LPG is highly explosive and highly fla mmable. It can cause severe burns and
other injuries.
•
Switch off the engine and switch off the ignition before you refuel with LPG.
•
Always switch off the mobile phone and the radio completely when you
refuel. Sparks could arise through electromagnetic waves which can trigger a
fire.
•
Do not enter the vehicle when refuelling with LPG. If in exceptional cases
you must enter the vehicle, close the do or when you exit the vehicle and touch
a metal surface before you take hold of the filling coupling. This prevents elec-
trostatic discharges, which may result in flying sparks. These in turn could
trigger a fire during the refuelling procedure with LPG.
•
A small quantity of LPG can escape after removing the filling piston. In case
of contact with the skin, there is a risk of frostbite.Note
The LPG filling pressure may vary within some countries for different refuelling
systems. If the filling pressure is too low, it can occur that the filling valve does not slam
closed when filling up. When the filling valv e does not close, a clearly audible clatter
can be heard from the tank area. In this ca se, refuelling with LPG must be finished
manually. This effect is not a fault of the LPG system of your vehicle.
LPG fuel gauge Fig. 4 Instrument clusterLPG gauge
The fuel gauge fig. 4 in the instrument cluster provides information about the
LPG remaining in the LPG fuel tank.
The warning light
tells you that your vehicle is running in LPG mode.
If the LPG filling level reaches the reserve capacity level, the message Please refuel
with LPG appears in the display of the instrument cluster.
The vehicle automatically switches over to petrol mode when the LPG fuel tank is
empty.
Note
•
The LPG filling level in the LPG fuel tank can change through inertia forces while
driving. A different quantity of LPG in the fuel tank may be indicated temporarily.
•
If the vehicle is parked for a longer period of time immediately after refuelling, the
situation may arise in which the pointer of the fuel tank gauge fig. 4 does not
indicate exactly the same level as was the case immediately after refuelling when the
engine is restarted. This is not due to any system leakages but a drop in pressure in the
LPG fuel tank due to technical reasons after a cooling phase directly after refuelling.
