Fuel gauge: Notes

The fuel gauge gives the driver information on how much fuel is left in the tank. It consists of a fuel gauge in the main instrument unit and a level sensor in the tank.

When there is less than 10 litres of fuel in the tank, the main instrument unit's control module switches to measuring fuel consumption. It obtains the necessary information from the relevant engine management system. This gives a more accurate reading of the fuel level. The fuel reserve indicator lamp comes on when the amount of fuel remaining is less than 10 litres.
