Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage
The fuel gage indicates
about how much fuel is
left in the fuel tank
when the ignition is on.
When the indicator nears empty, there is still a
little fuel left, but you should get more fuel soon.
Here are four things that some owners ask
about. All these things are normal and do not
indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage:
• At the gas station, the pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
• It takes more, or less, fuel to fill up than the
gage reads. For example, the gage reads
half full, but it took more, or less, than half of
the tank’s capacity to fill it.
• The gage pointer may move while cornering,
braking or accelerating.
• The gage may not indicate empty when the
ignition is turned off.
Low Fuel Warning Light
Your vehicle may have a low fuel light. It is
located on the fuel gage and will come on and a
chime will sound periodically when the vehicle
is low on fuel. The light will go off when fuel
is added to the fuel tank.
It will also come on for a few seconds when the
ignition is turned on as a check to indicate it is
working. If it does not come on then, have it fixed.
For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC),
a LOW FUEL message will appear. See DIC
Warnings and Messages on page 208 for more
information.
