Coolant Temperature; Fuel Gauge; Energy Control; Engine Oil Temperature - BMW 328i Owner's Manual

Coolant temperature

A warning lamp will come on if the coolant, and
therefore the engine, becomes too hot. In addi-
tion, a message will appear on the Control Dis-
play.
Check coolant level, refer to page 225.

allows you to see whether your current driving
style is conducive to fuel economy with mini-
mum exhaust emissions.

Engine oil temperature*

When the engine is at normal operating temper-
ature, the engine oil temperature is between
approx. 2107/1006 and approx. 3007/

Fuel gauge

Fuel tank capacity: approx. 15.9 US gallons/
60 liters.
You can find information on refueling on
page 207.
If the tilt of the vehicle varies for a longer period,
when you are driving in mountainous areas, for
example, the indicator may fluctuate slightly.
Reserve
Once the fuel level has fallen to the reserve
zone, a message briefly appears on the Control
Display and the cruising range for the remaining
amount of fuel is displayed on the computer.
Under a cruising range of approx. 30 miles/
50 km, the message remains in the Control Dis-
play.
Refuel as soon as possible once your
cruising range falls below 30 miles/
50 km, otherwise engine functions are not
ensured and damage can occur.<
