this warning lamp in the instrumentpanel comes on, accompanied by anaudible warning, a message and the
last bar of the fuel gauge comes on in orange.
) Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct type of fuel for your vehicle.) Introduce the nozzle so as to push in themetal non-return flap A.)

be registered by the fuel gauge. When it

on, accompanied by an audible warning and amessage. This audible warning and message
are repeated with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out.
Opening the filler flap may result in an inrush of air. This is entirely normal and results from the
