Fuel gauge

Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will indicate the approximate fuel level remaining in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may fluctuate slightly when the vehicle is moving or on a slope. The arrow next to the fuel pump symbol indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler flap is on.

Maximum engine speed

Under certain conditions, the electronic engine management system limits the engine speed below a preset value to prevent engine damage. This speed limit may be set lower when the vehicle is stationary or traveling below 10 km/h, which are not considered harmful to the engine.

DANGER

When the engine is running, keep clothing, necklaces and other objects away from rotating engine components to avoid serious personal injury.
