Fuel level

Due to the complex shape of the
fuel tank, it is impossible to de-
termine the fuel level when the
tank is approaching capacity. For
this reason, the fill-level indicator
OE
only displays the bottom half of
the filling capacity in detail.
28)
If the fill-level indicator reaches
1/2
the -mark 1, the fuel tank
is half-full. From then on, the
fill-level will be displayed more
precisely.
If the fuel reserve is reached, the
fuel warning light will come on.

Fuel reserve

The quantity of fuel in the fuel
tank after the fuel warning light
comes on is dependent on the
driving dynamics: the more the
fuel moves inside the tank (due
to regularly changing heel angles,
frequent braking and acceler-
ation), the more difficult it be-
comes to determine the reserve
volume. However, the tank will
at least contain the fuel reserve
volume indicated on the inside
cover.
After the fuel warning light
comes on, the distance
travelled since this time is dis-
played.
The distance that can still be
travelled using the reserve
volume depends on the style of
driving (usage) and the amount
of fuel remaining at the time the
light came on (see explanation
above).
