Nothing will show until the car has covered a few miles and has warmed up. Once stationary and on the level it shows half full.....and funnily enough, when driving as well? I wonder if it has a clever flow metre to meause the actual quantity...?

My SD is consuming 1 litre / 10.000 km (6.200 miles).
I always have 1 bottle with me, so that i don't have to buy it at the gas station which is expensive.

Yes, as we know, the manual suggests a check when refuelling with the car at operating temperature, on the level, engine at rest for at least a minute. So does the system do a check when these conditions are met and then display the result when the engine is running and until there is a change, at which point it displays the new level whenever you check it, even when the engine is running?

We're approaching 37k - serviced at 10k and 20k. Only had one top up warning and it took a full litre. Nothing since the 20k service though. Still wish there was a manual dipstick somewhere.
