WARNING
When driving with low fuel, the vehicle may
stall in traffic and cause accidents and se-
v
ere injuries.
●
If the fuel tank level is too low, fuel could
reach the engine irregularly, particularly
when driving up or down slopes.
●
The steering system and the driver assis-
tance systems and brakes do not work
when the engine is running irregularly or
switches off due to lack of fuel or an irregu-
lar supply thereof.
●
Always refuel when there is only one
quarter of fuel in tank to prevent the vehicle
to stop due to lack of fuel.
CAUTION
Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An
irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring
and unburnt fuel coul
d enter the exhaust
system. The catalytic converter or the par-
ticulate filt
er may get damaged!
Note
