The following warning lamps and  
indicators alert you to a vehicle condition  
that may become serious. Some lamps  
illuminate when you start your vehicle to  
make sure they work. If any lamps remain  
on after starting your vehicle, refer to the  
respective system warning lamp for further  
information.

illuminate when you start your vehicle.  
Fuel Gauge

when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.

the fuel pump symbol indicates on which  
side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is  
located.

you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points
