Fuel gauge
If the warning light remains lit continu-
ously, there are still approx. 8 litres
(1.8 gal) of fuel in the tank.
Fuel-tank capacity approx. 63 litres
(13.9 gal).
Certain vehicle positions, e.g. driving
uphill for prolonged periods, may cause
slight fluctuations in the fuel gauge
reading.
Do not wait too long before refuel-
ling, because if the fuel tank is run
almost empty engine functions cannot
be assured and damage could result.<
The warning light comes on briefly as
an operating check when the ignition is
switched on.
