A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,

Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
When it first comes on, about 5 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message. This audible warning
and message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out. Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This is entirely normal and results from the
sealing of the fuel system.
