The fuel level meter shows the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank. The amount of re-
maining fuel is shown using eight display
segments, which disappear two at a time as
the fuel level decreases.

The accuracy of the fuel level meter varies
depending on the operating conditions. Use
this function as a reference only.

about 18 L (4.8 US gal, 4.0 Imp.gal), the low-

mittently for 30 seconds.
If the fuel level warning is activated, refill the

After the fuel tank is refilled, the warning sig-
nals will be cleared when the engine is re-

pressure warning indicator, the check engine
warning indicator, and the “WARNING” indi-

mittently for 30 seconds. At the same time,
the maximum engine speed is limited.
If the oil pressure warning is activated, imme-
diately reduce the engine speed, return to

(See page 52 for information on checking the
