Fuel gauge
When indicator lamp1 begins to stay on contin-
uously, there are still approx. 2.1 gallons/8 liters
of fuel in the fuel tank.
Tank capacity: approx. 14.5 gallons/55 liters.
If the tilt of the vehicle varies, for example when
you are driving in mountainous areas, the nee-
dle may fluctuate slightly.
Fill the fuel tank well before it is empty.
Driving to the last drop of fuel can prevent
the engine from operating properly and result in
damage.<
When you switch on the ignition, the indicator
lamp comes on briefly to indicate an operational
check.
