Out of fuel

Out of fuel


The car has in-built protection to prevent the fuel system from being run completely dry.

When the fuel low warning lamp in the MIU lights up and the SID displays that Distance To Empty (DTE) is 0 kilometres, the engine will start to misfire and eventually stop. It is possible to start the engine again. If you do not immediately fill up will fuel, the engine management system will ensure that the engine dies again. The engine will stop in this manner three times before the fuel runs out for real.

After really running out of fuel, the fuel system must be bled using special tool, Nipple 30 31 069 and Brake bleeder 88 19 096 as the engine will not be able to draw fuel after being completely empty.
