RNING
Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in traffic,
potentially causing accidents and serious injuries.
When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular, especially when
driving up or down hills and inclines.
The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems stop working if the engine sputters
or goes off due to fuel shortage or irregular fuel supply.
Always fill the tank when it is still 1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel and breaking
down.

NOTICE
Do not run the tank empty. The irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and allow unburnt fuel to
enter the exhaust system. The catalytic converter or particulate filter could be damaged as a result.

The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol in the fuel gauge shows you the side of the vehicle
on which the tank flap is located.

acceleration level and the direction of the acting force (in the opposite direction according to
physical laws). If you drive to the left, for example, the red marking will move in the right area of the
instrument (and vice versa). If you accelerate, the red marking will move down. If you brake, the red
marking will move up. The level of acceleration is indicated by the position of the red marking which
moves outwards. If the acceleration increases, the red marking will move away from the centre area.

The 12-volt vehicle battery will discharge if the hazard warning lights are left on over a long period of
time even when the ignition is switched off.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the brake lights flash rapidly if you brake sharply or initiate full
braking at a speed of more than 80 km/h (50 mph). This is a particularly effective way of attracting
the attention of vehicles behind you. If you then continue to brake, the hazard warning lights will be
switched on automatically at speeds under approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). Once you start to
accelerate, the hazard warning lights will switch off again automatically.
