The gauge shows the approximate amount of fuel in the tank. The gauge has a small margin of error. When the ignition is switched off, the needle returns to zero.

WARNING
For gasoline engine versions only
Avoid driving with a minimum amount of fuel in the tank. This may cause engine misfires and damage to the catalytic converter.

WARNING
For diesel engine versions only
When starting the engine after the fuel has completely run out, the engine malfunction indicator will illuminate or the glow plug indicator will flash.
