Fuel gauge
In previous systems, the fuel gauge tended to
fluctuate, e.g. when cornering. To counteract
this, damping of the fuel gauge was increased
using electronic devices.
However, the drawback of this was that the
fuel gauge took longer to display the correct
fuel level after refueling.
The new fuel gauge eliminates this drawback.
If the
ignition is switched off
and fuel tank
capacity increases by four litres or more, the
new
fuel level is recalculated and displayed straight
after the ignition is restarted.
If the
ignition is switched on
and the vehicle is
stationary, the damping cuts out and the fuel
level is displayed immediately.
Do not refuel the vehicle with the ignition
switched on.
