Fuel Gage
I
Your fuel gage is a bar graph. When you fill the tank,
the bar segments will light up. The fuel gage shows
about how much fuel is in your
tank. It works only when
the ignition is on. When the fuel gage shows only two
bar segments the
“LOW’ light will come on. If the fuel
~ supply is in the one bar segment, the yellow warning bar
’ will flash to remind you to get more fuel soon.
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads
“F’.
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage
said. For example, the gage said
1/2 full, but it took
more
- or less - than half of the tank’s, capacity to fill
it.
Engine Oil Pressure Gage and Light

there could be a problem
with your engine oil
pressure.

Turn off the engine and
give the oil a
few minutes
to drain back into the oil
pan.
If you don’t, the oil
dipstick might not show the
actual level.
To Check Engine Oil: Pull ’
1 out the dipstick and clean it
with a paper towel or cloth,

.. , way. Remove it again,
When to Add Oil: If the oil is at or below the ADD
mark, then you’ll need to add some oil. But you must
use tlwright kind. This section explains what kind
