engine oil temperature lies between approx.
1006 and 1206, approx. 2127 and 248 7.

Fuel gauge

Fuel tank capacity:
> Petrol engine: approx. 63 litres, approx.
13.9 Imp. gal.
> Diesel engine: approx. 61 litres, approx.
13.4 Imp. gal.
Notes on refuelling, see page 117.
If the car's inclination varies while driving, for
example on a long mountain road, the value in
the display may fluctuate to some extent.
Reserve
When only approx. 8 litres, approx. 1.8 Imp. gal.,
of fuel are left in the tank of a car with petrol
engine, or approx. 6.5 litres, approx. 1.4 Imp.
gal., with a diesel engine, the indicator light
comes on briefly and the remaining operating
range is displayed. The indicator light remains
on if the remaining range is less than approx.
50 km, approx. 30 miles.
If the remaining operating range is below
50 km, approx. 30 miles, it is imperative to
add fuel, otherwise the engine's functions are
not assured and damage may occur.<
