and an audible signal. When it first comes on,
about 6 litres of fuel remain.

appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the message and the audible
signal. When driving, this message and audible
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as
the fuel level drops towards 0.

running out of fuel.

fuel filler flap is located.

Opening the filler flap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely
