Vehicle equipment
In this chapter, all production, country, and
optional equipment that is offered in the model
range is described. Equipment is also described
that is not available because of, for example,
selected options or country version. This also
applies to safety related functions and systems.
Fuel gauge
Fuel tank capacity
Approx. 12.4 US gal/47 liters.
You will find information on refueling on
page 201.
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.
The arrow next to the gas pump symbol of the
fuel gauge points toward the side of the vehicle
with the fuel filler flap.
Reserve
Once the fuel level has fallen to the reserve zone
of approx. 2.1 US gal/8 liters the remaining LEDs
change from orange to red, arrow, and a mes-
sage is displayed briefly on the Control Display.
The tachometer displays the remaining cruising
range. When the range is less than approx.
30 miles/50 km, the message remains in the
Control Display.
