is not possibleLED
flashes:fuel mode transition in
process, flashing stops
if transition is completed
Switching is not possible at high loads (e.g. powerful acceleration, driving at
full throttle).
If the selector switch is operated
several times within a short time, a
switchover inhibitor is activated. The
engine remains in the current
operating mode. The inhibitor
remains active until the ignition is
switched off.
A slight loss of power and torque can
be expected during petrol operation.
You must therefore adapt your driving style, e.g. during overtaking
manoeuvres and high vehicle loads
(e.g. towing loads) accordingly.
The vehicle consumes petrol when
starting the engine and even when in
certain natural gas operating modes. The petrol consumption in natural gas
operating mode can vary depending
on driving behaviour (e.g. high load or
towing). In case of a low fuel level, a
corresponding message is displayed
as a reminder to refuel.
Note
Always ensure that there is enough
petrol in the tank.
Fuel for natural gas operation 3 218.
Forced fuel mode transitionNatural gas tank is running low
As soon as the natural gas tank is
empty, petrol operation is
automatically engaged. Manually
engaging natural gas operation mode is not possible until natural gas
refuelling is detected.
Before the petrol fuel system runs empty, a warning message will be
displayed and cannot be dismissed.Petrol tank is running low while
natural gas is available
If the remaining petrol level in the tank falls below a certain level, natural gas
operation is automatically engaged
provided there is a sufficient natural
gas level in the tank. Manually
engaging petrol operation mode is not
possible.
Before both fuel systems run empty,
a warning message will be displayed
and cannot be dismissed.
Engine coolant temperaturegauge
Displays the coolant temperature.

activation by the driver.Economy Trend
Displays the average consumption
development over a distance of
50 km. Filled segments display the
consumption in 5 km steps and show
the effect of topography or driving
behaviour on fuel consumption.
Economy index
The average fuel consumption is indicated on an economic scale. For
economical driving, adapt driving
style to keep the indicator within the
green area. The more the indicator
moves towards red, the higher is the
fuel consumption. Simultaneously the
average consumption value is
indicated.
Depending on vehicle version, the
Eco Index shows values referring to
