Fuel gauge
Fig. 23
Fuel gauge
Read and observe on page 28 first.
The fuel gauge » Fig. 23 only operates if the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres. If the amount of fuel reaches
the reserve area (the pointer reaches the red scale range), the indicator symbol
is illuminated
» page 37 .
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and the exhaust system.
Note
After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous curves,
braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates ap-
prox. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the fuel
gauge displays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault.Counter for distance drivenFig. 24
