Note
To ensure the fuel level is displayed
correctly, the ignition must be
switched off before refuelling. Avoid
minor fuel top-ups (e.g. less than
5 litres) to ensure accurate readings.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified tank capacity.
Fuel economy gauge
The fuel economy gauge provides an
instantaneous calculation of fuel
efficiency based on current driving style.
The gauge uses colours to indicatecurrent fuel efficiency:Green=best fuel economy
is being achievedYellow=driving style too
aggressiveOrange=least efficient fuel
economy
The fuel economy gauge is enabled by default. It can be disabled via the
Infotainment system. Refer to
Infotainment system manual for
further information.
Service display
When the ignition is switched on, the
