Driving with low fuel level that is too low can lead to a vehicle breakdown in traffic, accidents, and serious injuries.
If the fuel level is too low, this can result in irregular fuel supply to the engine, particularly when going uphill or downhill.
The steering, all driver assistance systems and brake support systems will not work if the engine is “sputtering” or cuts out due to fuel shortage or
irregular fuel supply.
To prevent vehicle breakdown due to low fuel, always refill the fuel tank once it reaches a fill level of 1/4.
NOTICE
Never drive with a completely empty fuel tank. Irregular fuel supply can result in misfiring and unburnt fuel entering the exhaust system.
The small arrow next to the fuel pump symbol on the fuel gauge indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler flap is on.
Troubleshooting
Fuel tank almost empty
The yellow indicator light turns on. The reserve supply (red marking ) is being used.
1. Refuel at the next opportunity.
Fuel tank cap open
The yellow indicator light turns on.
1. Close the fuel tank cap.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Digital coolant temperature gauge
Fig. 13 Coolant temperature gauge in the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro (general example).
Cold range. The engine is not at operating temperature yet. Avoid high engine RPMs and heavy engine load when the engine is not at operating temperature.
Normal range.
Warning range. The needle may move into the warning range when engine load is heavy, especially when outside temperatures are high.
If the
warning light flashes, the coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low ⇒ Troubleshooting.
Driving data menu
The driving data menu shows driving and consumption data. Depending on the vehicle equipment, various driving data can be displayed. The displayed driving
data is dependent on the current driving style, the vehicle status, e.g. particle filter regeneration, and the current driving situation, e.g. city traffic. The driving data is
determined as an average value over sections of different distances and the currently displayed value may therefore differ from the actual average value.
