WARNING  
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.
