DIESEL LOW FUEL SAFETY
MODE
Diesel engines must never run out
of fuel. They have safety devices to
prevent this. They will reduce
engine power by up to 30 % when a
low fuel level is detected, as
indicated by the low fuel warning
light.
The system will also shut down (i.e.
the engine will stop completely)
just prior to reaching zero fuel to
prevent re-starting problems and,
more importantly, severe engine
damage.
To start the engine, see the section
Diesel low fuel safety mode on
page 124.
Benefits of the diesel low fuel
safety mode
This mode maximises fuel
efficiency under very low fuel
conditions and helps to prevent:
• Running out of fuel too quickly
• Clogging the fuel system
• Placing excess pressure on the
engine, that would result in costly
and severe engine damage
