When the fuel level drops to the reserve volume (approximately 8 liters for gasoline engines and 6.5 liters for diesel engines), the warning lamp in the instrument cluster lights up for several seconds and a continuous driving range display appears. When the driving range is less than 50 km, the warning lamp stays on constantly
When the driving range is less than 50 kilometers, be sure to refuel, otherwise you risk damaging the engine.◄
