Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear as much as possible.
Caution
If the needle is in the red warning
zone, the maximum permitted
engine speed is exceeded. Engine at risk.
Fuel gauge
Displays the fuel level or gas content
(CNG) in the tank depending on the current operation mode.
The arrow indicates the vehicle side
where the fuel filler flap is located.
For bi-fuel engines, the Driver
Information Centre displays the fuel
level for the fuel type which is
currently not in operation. The fuel
level for the fuel type which is
currently in operation is shown in the fuel gauge.
Control indicator r illuminates if the
fuel quantity is low.
For bi-fuel engines: In petrol mode,
the control indicator r illuminates
before the needle reaches the red
area.

Switching is not possible at high loads
(e.g. powerful acceleration, driving at
full throttle).
If the selector switch is operated
several times within a short time, a
switchover inhibitor is activated. The
engine remains in the current
operating mode. The inhibitor
remains active until the ignition is
switched off.
A slight loss of power and torque can
be expected during petrol operation.
You must therefore adapt your driving style, e.g. during overtaking
manoeuvres and high vehicle loads
(e.g. towing loads) accordingly.
The vehicle consumes petrol when
starting the engine and even when in certain natural gas operating modes.The petrol consumption in natural gas
operating mode can vary depending
on driving behaviour (e.g. high load or towing). In case of a low fuel level, a
corresponding message is displayed as a reminder to refuel.
Notice
Always ensure that there is enough
petrol in the tank.
