Once the fuel level has fallen to the reserve zone
of approx. 2.1 gallons/8 liters, the remaining

when the remaining range is less than approx.
30 miles/50 km.

If the range displayed is less than
30 miles/50 km, be sure to refuel; other-

wise, engine functions are not guaranteed and

ing, engine functions are not always assured.
