When you switch on the ignition, the
indicator lamp lights up briefly as a
function check.
Once the indicator lamp stays on
continuously, there are still approx.
2 gallons (8 liters) of fuel left in the fuel
tank.
For fuel tank capacity, refer to page 187 .
If the tilt of the vehicle varies (extended
driving in mountainous areas, for
example), there may be slight fluctua-
tions of the needle.
Please refuel early, since driving
to the last drop of fuel can result
in damage to the engine and/or cata-
lytic converter.

Red
When you switch on the ignition, the
warning lamp comes on briefly as a
function check.

the vehicle, the engine has over-
heated. Switch the engine off immedi-
ately and allow it to cool down.

Remaining distance for service
The displays shown in the illustration
appear for a few seconds when the
ignition key is in position 1 or after the
engine is started.
The next service due appears with the
message OIL SERVICE or INSPECTION,
together with the remaining distance
before scheduled service.
The computer bases its calculations
of the remaining distance on the rate of
fuel consumption in the period immedi-
ately preceding your data request.
A flashing display and a "–" in front of
the number indicate that service is past
due by the number of kilometers/miles
displayed. Please contact your BMW
center for an appointment.
