charged,

system” is displayed on the instrument

not affect the way the vehicle runs.

drained, the system must be reprimed  
after the tank is refilled: see information

starting the engine.

run the engine in locations  
where combustible sub-  
stances or materials such  
as grass or leaves can come into
