Does anyone have any issues with the fuel guage and how many kms you have left when close to empty?
I dont think its a fault but its kind of annoying that when the fuel light comes on it will say 60-70 kms left of fuel. I will do about another 5-10km and it has states you have about 30-40 kms left, 2 seconds later it starts flashing. This is all while under normal drving conditions, no driving hard. I am still working out how many kms on average per tank of juice i will get and ill start trusting how many kms i have done, I do reset the travel guage each time i fill up though. |

If I remember correctly, you can reset the fuel economy meter (if that's what it's called). It's one of the settings on that useless orange screen that I wish showed a digital speed read-out. Anyway, maybe yours needs resetting Yutzi (I'm assuming it is used in the kms left calculation). I did find the last light on my fuel gauge was not lighting, but the last two fills I have made sure I filled the tank right up. That fixed it. It seems there is a lot more room after the pump clicks off. |

I have the same issue with the last fuel gauge LED not lighting up too.
I have made an observation over the last 7 months, that, if I fill up all the way to the brim, the last LED light won't turn on, but if I fill up just til the pump clicks off, 9 out of ten times the final LED light will turn on at startup. Also have noticed the final LED light coming on after driving about an hour after a "full-to-the-brim" fill.

No TPMS, and again I ask, why don't they make it standard here for all cars to have it like in America? Don't get me started on the reasons why we should!
