Vehicles with a bi-fuel drive system (petrol/gas operation) have dash panel inserts with an additional segment display -arrow- indicating the gas level in the gas tank.
Vehicles with long-life service are equipped with a dash panel insert which informs the driver of a low oil level by means of an acoustic signal and the illumination of a warning lamp.
When an oil level warning has been issued, the warning can only be reset by opening the bonnet (actuation of the bonnet switch).
