Fuel Level; Fuel Reserve - BMW F 800 GS Rider's Manual

NOTICE
The ABS symbol can be shown
differently depending on the
country.

Fuel level

Due to the complex fuel tank ge-
ometry, the fill level cannot be
determined in the upper filling
range. For this reason, the fuel
level indicator only details the
lower half of the filling range.
If the fill level indicator reaches
1/2
the -mark 1, the fuel tank is
still half full. Now, the fill level is
exactly displayed.
If the reserve quantity is reached,
the fuel warning lamp is switched
on.

Fuel reserve

The fuel level in the fuel tank,
when the fuel warning lamp
switches on, depends on the
driving dynamics. The more
the fuel is moved within the
tank (due to frequently changing
inclined positions, frequent
braking and accelerating), the
more difficult it is to determine
the reserve quantity. For this
reason, the reserve quantity
cannot be accurately indicated.
with onboard computer
After the fuel warning lamp
is switched on, the distance
driven since this point in time is
indicated.
The distance, which can still be
driven with the reserve quantity,
depends on the driving style (on
the consumption) and on the fuel
level, when the warning lamp was
switched on.
