Adjustment of the fuel gauge must be carried out in several steps. There are 7 different commands for this in Tech 2:

1. Tank offset - Adjustment of sensor. This command adjusts the sensor itself (tank sensor input to main instrument unit) and lifts/lowers the entire scale (works setting 2 liters).
2. Tank Empty - Breakpoint for empty tank (works setting 0 liters).
3. Tank Reserve - Breakpoint when the fuel reserve lamp lights up (works setting 10 liters).
4. Tank 1/4 - Breakpoint for 1/4 tank level (works setting 19 liters).
5. Tank 1/2 - Breakpoint for 1/2 tank level (works setting 38 liters).
6. Tank 3/4 - Breakpoint for 3/4 tank level (works setting 58 liters).
7. Tank Night Panel (works setting 15 liters).
