Troubleshooting
Fuel tank almost empty
The indicator lamp lights up yellow. The engine is consuming the reserve volume(red marking).
1. Fill the tank at the next opportunity (→ Fuel types and refuelling).
With some equipment levels: The auxiliary heater and the fuel-powered supplementary heater switch off
automatically when the indicator lamp lights up.
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 stop working if the engine “sputters” or goes off
due to fuel shortage or irregular fuel supply.
● Always refuel when the fuel tank is still 1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel and breaking down.
NOTICE
Never run the fuel tank completely empty. The irregular fuel supply can cause backfiring and allow unburnt fuel to
enter the exhaust system.
The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol in the fuel gauge shows you the side of the vehicle on which
the tank flap is located.
