Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in
traffic, potentially causing accidents and serious injuries.
•When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular,
especially when driving up or down hills and inclines.
•The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems will not function if
the engine sputters or stops completely due to a lack of fuel or irregular fuel supply.
•Always fill the tank when it is still 1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel
and breaking down.
WARNING
Do not run the tank empty. Irregular filling periods can cause backfiring and allow unburnt
fuel to enter the exhaust system. The catalytic converter or diesel particulate filter could be
damaged as a result!
