Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge in the driver display shows the fuel level in the tank.
The figure is schematic – parts may vary depending on the car model.The beige zone in the fuel gauge indicates the quantity of fuel in the tank.
When the fuel level is low, the fuel pump symbol illuminates and turns an amber color. The trip computer also shows the distance to an empty tank.
Handling of fuel
Do not use fuel with a lower quality than that recommended by Volvo, as this will negatively affect engine power and fuel consumption.
Warning
- Always avoid inhaling fuel vapor and getting fuel splashes in the eyes.
- In the event of fuel in the eyes, remove any contact lenses and rinse the eyes in plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
- Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol, bioethanol, and mixtures of them and diesel are highly toxic and could cause permanent injury or be fatal if swallowed. Seek medical attention immediately if fuel has been swallowed.
Warning
- Fuel that spills onto the ground can be ignited.
- Switch off the fuel-driven heater before starting to refuel.
- Never carry an activated mobile phone when refueling. The ring signal could cause spark build-up and ignite petrol fumes, leading to fire and injury.
