Once the indicator lamp stays on con-
tinuously, there are still approx.
2 gallons/8 liters of fuel in the fuel tank.

63 liters.
If the tilt of the vehicle varies – when
you are driving in mountainous areas,
for example – the needle may fluctuate
slightly.

pletely empty. Driving to the last
drop of fuel can prevent the engine

damage.<

indicator lamp lights up briefly as an
operation check.
