    Default How Many Litres Do You Get From Your Standard 63L Tank?

    Hey guys,
    Just curoius to know because i run a lvl 3 dash in my car and i think around 55L used (as showed on the display screen) my petrol light comes on and shes asking to be filled up again so im thinking that my car doesnt use all 63L possible in the tank? Can someone shine some light on this for me so i can know how much fuel is left in there when the car runs out?

    Another question i have is, (because i dont thave the calais or special model handbook) when the fuel light comes on / beeps, what does it signal? 100kms left or 10L left or something?

    Thanks in advanced.

    Yep - 10 lts left - on the VN anyway

    On level ground press and hold the rest button for 3 seconds. It should show how many lts left (on one of the modes) - avg lts I think. This should = 10 when the light first comes on.

    when the light comes on you should have approx. 100kms left. According the the VS(v6) Manual...

    Social, for VS's i know it's 8L warning, unsure if the VR is the same, but it would be around that mark.
    also, I'm getting around 650-700km per tank if i let it run dry. i fill it at od dintervals tho so it's not come to that for quite a while

    Easy way to work it out is to set the trip meter when you fill up and then when you fill up next time take note of how many litres to full. Then it's a simple calculation to work out your economy. Or use this program.
