Fuel Gauge; Temperature Gauge - BMW X5 2004 Owner's Manual

Fuel gauge

74n
If the indicator lamp comes on and
stays on, there are approx.
> 2.0 gal./8 liters – 6-cylinder engine
> 2.5 gal./10 liters – 8-cylinder engine
of fuel still in the tank.
Tank capacity: approx. 24.6 gal./
approx. 93 liters.
Certain operating conditions where the
tilt of the vehicle varies, such as those
encountered in mountainous areas,
may cause the needle to fluctuate
slightly.
Refuel well before the tank is
empty, as otherwise engine func-
tions will not be ensured and damage
can occur if you drive down to the last
drop.<
When you switch on the ignition, the
indicator lamp comes on briefly to con-
firm that the system is operational.
