Caution
If the needle is in the red warning
zone, the maximum permitted
engine speed is exceeded. Engine at risk.
Fuel gauge
Displays the level in the fuel or gas
tank depending on the operation mode.
The arrow indicates the vehicle side
where the fuel filler flap is located.
Control indicator Y illuminates if the
level in the tank is low. Refuel
immediately if it flashes.
During liquid gas operation, the
system automatically switches over to
petrol operation when gas tanks are
empty 3 85.
Never run fuel tank dry.

Liquid gas operation, LPG
Pressing LPG switches between
petrol and liquid gas operation as
soon as the required parameters (coolant temperature, gas
temperature and minimum engine
speed) have been reached. The
requirements are usually fulfilled after
approximately 60 seconds
(depending on exterior temperature)
and the first firm press on the
accelerator. The LED status shows

system. A message is
displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. The
vehicle is in petrol
operation.
The selected fuel mode is stored and reactivated at the next ignition cycle if
conditions allow.
As soon as the liquid gas tank is
empty, a warning message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre and the LED in the button
flashes rapidly. Petrol operation is
automatically engaged.
When switching automatically
between petrol or gas operation, a
brief delay of engine tractive power
may be noticeable.
When petrol fuel tank is empty, the
engine will not start.
Every six months, run the petrol tank
down until control indicator Y
illuminates, then refuel. This helps
maintain fuel quality and system
function for petrol operation.
Fill the tank completely at regular
intervals to prevent corrosion in the
tank.
Faults and remedies
If gas mode is not possible, check the following:
● Is there enough liquid gas present?
● Is there enough petrol present for
starting?
Due to extreme temperatures in
combination with the gas
composition, it may take slightly
longer before the system switches
from petrol to gas mode.
Page 88 of 253

86Instruments and controlsIn extreme situations, the system may
also switch back to petrol mode if the
minimum requirements are not
fulfilled. If conditions allow, it may be
possible to manually switch back to
liquid gas operation.
Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of all other faults.Caution
Repairs and adjustments may only
be made by trained specialists in
order to maintain the safety and
warranty on the LPG system.
Liquid gas is given a particular odour
(odorised) so that any leaks can be
detected easily.
9 Warning
If you smell gas in the vehicle or in
the immediate vicinity, switch to petrol mode immediately. No
smoking. No naked flames or
ignition sources.
If the gas odour persists, do not start
the engine. Have the cause of the
fault remedied by a workshop.
When using underground car parks,
follow the instructions of the operator
and local laws.

In the event of an accident, switch off
the ignition.
