the quantity of fuel on board.
When the vehicle is propped
on its side stand the slight
angle of inclination means
that the sensor cannot re-
gister the fuel level correctly.
This is the reason why the
range is recalculated only
when the side stand is in the
retracted position.
The range is shown together
with a warning once the fuel
reserve has been reached.
After a refuelling stop, range
is recalculated if the amount
of fuel in the tank is greater
than the reserve quantity.
The calculated range is only
an approximate figure.
