Odd Error Messages
Discussion
When I attempted to start the motor one day this week several error messages came up, such as contact dealer, and this one:
Fuel gauge error.
So I took the key out and started again and hey presto, success.
The likely cause, I suppose, was the fact that the key was left in the ignition overnight (switched off) but I’m wondering why the “brain” threw a wobbly at this?
