Range

(miles or km)

The distance which can still be
travelled with the fuel remaining in
the tank (related to the average fuel
consumption over the last few miles

of driving style or terrain results in a
significant change in the current fuel
consumption.

Dashes are displayed when the range falls
below 20 miles (30 km).
After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the
range is recalculated and is displayed if it
exceeds 60 miles (100 km).

If dashes instead of figures continue to
be displayed when driving, contact a

alone in the vehicle, except for a very short
period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key
from the ignition switch when leaving the
