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. This may result in vehicle breakdowns while driving, accidents and serious or fatal  
injuries. 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.

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.  
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.
