Fuel maintenance mode
Fuel maintenance mode tracks
average fuel age. Old fuel can cause
engine problems. If low engine usage
causes average fuel age to exceed
approximately one year, fuel
maintenance mode will run the
engine to use up the old fuel. The
engine will run until enough fresh fuel
is added to bring the average fuel age
into an acceptable range. Allowing
more old fuel to be used up by fuel
maintenance mode and adding a
larger amount of fresh fuel will
maximise the length of time before
another fuel maintenance mode is
needed. During fuel maintenance
mode the engine may turn on and off.
When fuel maintenance mode is
needed, a request screen appears on
the Colour-Info-Display at vehicle
start.
If Yes is selected, fuel maintenance
mode will begin. Fuel maintenance
mode will automatically continue at
each vehicle start until fresh fuel is
added.
If No is selected, the fuel
maintenance mode request screen
will appear when the vehicle is next
started. The fuel maintenance mode
request can be delayed for only one
day.
If the fuel maintenance mode request
was delayed for one day, it will start at
the next vehicle start and display the
fuel maintenance mode notification
screen on the Colour-Info-Display.
If fuel maintenance mode is required
and the fuel level is low, fuel
maintenance mode may eventually
empty the fuel tank if fuel is not added.
This will result in reduced, or no
power. An adequate fuel level must
be maintained in the vehicle to keep
it operational.
