When refueling after run-
ning on reserve, make sure

wise the sensor will not be able
to register the new level and the
fuel warning lamp will not be

was completely emptied, i.e., if

Fuel is highly flammable.
Fire at the fuel tank can
result in fire and explosion.

and get onto the road. This re-
sults in a danger of falling.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.

faces, making them cloudy
