Engine oil thermometer
The engine oil temperature is between
approx. 1607/706 and approx. 3407/
1706 during normal operation.
If the engine oil temperature is too high, a
message appears on the Control Display.
Fuel gauge
Fuel tank capacity: approx. 18.5 US gal-
lons/70 liters, including the reserve capac-
ity of approx. 2.1 gallons/8 liters. You can
find information on refueling on page 162.
If the tilt of the vehicle varies for a longer
period, when you are driving in mountain-
ous areas, for example, the indicator may
fluctuate slightly.
After the reserve quantity has been
reached, a message appears for a short
time on the Control Display; the remaining
range is shown in the computer. Below a
range of approx. 30 miles/50 km, the mes-
sage remains on the Control Display.
Refuel as soon as possible once your
cruising range falls below 30 miles/
50 km, as otherwise engine functions are
not ensured and damage can occur.<
