mately 60 litres.



Low fuel level

When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and a message in

time the ignition is switched on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and
a message. Depending on the ver-
sion, this audible signal and mes-
sage are repeated with increasing
frequency, as the fuel level drops

".
You must refuel as soon as possible
to avoid running out. A label on the inner face of the fuel
fi ller fl ap reminds you of the type of
fuel to be used, according to your
