To avoid serious damage to the engine or
catalytic converter, always refuel as soon
as possible once your cruising range falls
to below 30 miles (50 kilometers).
When refueling you must add at least
approx. 1 1/3 gallons (5 litres) before the
computer will register the additional fuel. Distance to destination When you enter a destination in the naviga-
tion system or manually enter a distance in
the computer prior to departure, the
system can also display the distance
remaining to your destination, refer to
pages 126 and 84.
The system automatically adopts the
distance to your destination using the route
recommended by the navigation system.
When you enter a destination in the
navigation system, any manual
entries will be overwritten no later than
once 1640 feet (500 meters) of the calcu-
lated distance have elapsed.< Energy Control/
