If the indicator lamp comes on and stays  
on, there are approx. 2.5 gal (10 liters)  
of fuel still in the tank.  
Avoid engine speeds in the early  
warning zone if possible.  
For fuel tank capacity, refer to page 186.  
Do not operate the engine with the  
needle in the red overspeed zone of  
the gauge.  
If the tilt of the vehicle varies (when you  
are driving in mountainous areas, for  
example), the needle may fluctuate  
slightly.

management system automatically  
interrupts the fuel supply in this range;  
the resulting effect resembles that  
associated with a sudden loss of  
power.  
Please refuel early, as driving to  
the last drop of fuel can result in  
damage to the engine and/or catalytic  
converter.<
