Tank alarms
An alarm can be raised for each tank if the tank level goes above

the Turn Alarm on/off menu key.
When the alarm is turned on, you can set the level at which the
alarm is sounded. For fuel and water tanks, the alarm sounds
when the level stays consistently below the specified limit. For
the waste tank, the alarm sounds when the level consistently
exceeds the specified amount.

fluid is required at each step.
1. Select a tank on the Tank setup screen and press Calibrate Tank
to begin the process. On-screen instructions give detailed

5. Repeat for 75% and 100%.
