Fuel gauge

Once the indicator lamp stays on con-
tinuously, there are still approx.
2 gallons/8 liters of fuel in the fuel tank.

Fuel tank capacity approx.
16.6 gallons/63 liters

Certain operating conditions, such as
those encountered in mountainous
areas, may cause the needle to fluctu-
ate slightly.

Fill the fuel tank before it is com-
pletely empty. Driving to the last

drop of fuel can prevent the engine
from operating properly and result in
damage.

When you switch on the ignition, the
indicator lamp lights up briefly as an
