Fuel gauge
If the warning light remains lit continu-
ously, there are still approx. 8 litres
(1.8 gal) of fuel in the tank.
Fuel-tank capacity approx. 63 litres
(13.9 gal).
Certain vehicle positions, e.g. driving
uphill for prolonged periods, may cause
slight fluctuations in the fuel gauge
reading.
Add fuel in good time, or there is a
risk of running the tank dry and
causing damage to the engine or the
catalytic converter.
