Troubleshooting
Fuel tank almost empty
The indicator lamp lights up yellow. The reserve volume(red marking) is being consumed .
1. Refuel at the next opportunity (→ Fuel types and refuelling).
Depending on equipment: when the indicator lamp lights up, the auxiliary heater and the fuel-powered
supplementary heater switch off automatically.
WARNING
Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in traffic, potentially causing
accidents and serious injuries.
● When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular, especially when driving up or
down hills and inclines.
● The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems will not function if the engine “sputters” or
stops completely due to a lack of fuel or irregular fuel supply.
● Refuel when the fuel tank is still 1/4 full in order to avoid breaking down due to lack of fuel.
NOTICE
Never run the fuel tank completely dry. Irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and allow unburnt fuel to enter the
exhaust system.
