Cockpit overv iew
@ For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early helps you to save fuel and re­
duces operating noise.
@ Tips
Depending on the engine : the engine speed
may be limited when the engine is cold -the
full engine output will not be ava ilable . When
the engine is at operating temperature, the
red area in the tachometer moves to a h igher
RPM range .
Fuel level
The display (j) ~ page 10, fig. 3 or ~ page 10,
fig. 4 only functions when the ign ition is swi tch­
ed on . When the display has reached the reserve
mark, a red LED turns on and the~ indicator
light t urns on~
page 31. The red LED wi ll blink
when the fuel level is very low .
For the tank capacity in you r vehicle , refer to the
Technical Data
~ page 379.
Cl) Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp­
t y. The irregular supp ly of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfires . Uncom­
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys ­
tem . This can cause overheating and damage
to the cata lytic converter .
Odometer
