Fuel gauge

Is this normal when it’s on 1/2 a tank it’s goes orange then when it’s on 1/4 it goes red with no miles remaining.

You need to get used to the reading. It drops like a stone once you go below half way. I’m used to it now and gauge that 300 miles is getting to the point to cons filler it up.

Not seen that - no - not normal.

Not normal, but same with mine. Mine stays in the upper half for long time. Then I had half tank going up the mountain pass, then going down I lost 5-10km range every km. Until it did not display any range at all and was red. A bit frightening, but I made it to the next petrol station (with probably still > 6-8 litre in the tank. The tank gauge is really not working on mine. But I have a early software version, hope to get this fixed as well with the update promised for late September.

I tried out yesterday. It went orange after 600 km (11,8 l/km) so it had burned roughly calculated 71 litres of diesel = 19 litres left. It went red at 700 km and said „REFUEL NOW“ at 60 km remaining to go. After 10 km the remaining km vanished.
I refuelled at 715 km and put in 84 litres of diesel by filling the tank really full to the end!
So for my car I know that I have 200 km to with a orange light and 100 km with a red light.
After all the stories about warnings when there’s still 30 or more litres in, that is ok for me. Seems that there’s a variety in the sensor settings here as well.

Computers are just trouble trouble trouble! Too clever for their own good IMO.
It's a shame these were superceded.
