Troubleshooting

1. Refuel at the next opportunity.
Fuel tank cap open
The yellow indicator light turns on.
1. Close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
If the fuel level is too low, this can result in irregular fuel supply and cause the engine to “sputter” or cut out, particularly
when traveling uphill or downhill. The steering, all driver assistance systems and brake support systems will not work if
the engine cuts out due to fuel shortage or irregular fuel supply. This may result in vehicle breakdowns while driving,
accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
Check that the fuel tank is always sufficiently filled.
Always refill the fuel when the fuel tank is only 1/4 full.
NOTICE
Irregular fuel supply can result in misfiring and unburnt fuel entering the exhaust system.
Never drive with a completely empty fuel tank.
