Operating Your Vehicle
Fuel Selector Switch — How to Use
Start on Petrol
Start the vehicle on petrol to allow engine warm-up — approximately 60 seconds.
Switch to LPG
Once engine is warm, press the LPG selector switch on the dashboard.
Watch the Indicator
The indicator light flashes briefly while switching, then changes from amber to green.
Running on LPG
Green light = LPG active. The system auto-switches back to petrol if LPG falls to reserve.
Manual Switch Back
To manually return to petrol, press the selector switch again at any time.
Before Parking
When parking for more than 30 minutes, switch back to petrol before stopping.
Warning Signs
If the LPG warning light flashes rapidly, stop safely and inspect for leaks immediately.
Always Start on Petrol
Never force-start on LPG. Always start on petrol first, every time.
