Changing up a gear in time reduces fuel con-
sumption and noise. Note

Several warning and control lamps light up
for a few seconds when the ignition is switch-
ed on, signalling that the function is being
verified. They will switch off after a few sec-
onds.
In natural gas engines
The warning lamp  lights up when both fuel
type

s (petrol and natural gas) have reached
reserve level.
The warning lamp  lights up when the vehi-
cl

e is running in natural gas operating mode.
The warning lamp  switches off when the
natural gas is exhausted. The engine
changes to operate with petrol.
Problem:
if the vehicle is left parked for a
long time just after refuelling, the gas level
indicator does not accurately indicate the
same level shown after refuelling when the
vehicle is started up again. This is not due to
a leak in the system, but to a drop in pres-
sure in the gas tank for technical reasons af- ter a cooling phase immediately after refuel-
ling. WARNING
Driving with insufficient fuel reserve could re-
sult in the vehicle breaking down in traffic
and a serious accident.
● If the fuel level is too low then the fuel sup-
ply to the engine can become irregular espe-
cially on slopes.
● If the engine “is choked” or stalls due to
lack of or irregularity of the fuel supply, the
power steering as well as all of the driver as-
sistance systems including braking assis-
tance will stop working.
● Always refuel when there is only one quar-
ter of the fuel tank left to avoid running out of
fuel. CAUTION
● Always pay attention to any lit control
lamps and to the corresponding descriptions and instructions to avoid damage to the vehi-
cle.
● Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An
irregular fuel supply may lead to ignition
faults and unburnt fuel could enter the ex-
haust system. This could damage the catalyt-
ic converter. Note
The arrow next to the fuel pump symbol on
the instrument panel ››› Fig. 101 indicates the
s ide of

the vehicle on which the tank flap is
