Your fuel gage shows about how much fuel is in your tank. It works only
when the ignition is
in the “RUN” position.
Digital Gage
If the fuel level is within approximately one gallon (3.9 liters) of being full
the letter “F” is shown.
If the fuel level
is between 1 and 2 gallons (3.9 and 7.6 liters) from being
empty the letter
“E” is shown. If the fuel supply gets down to
approximatcly 1 gallon (3.9 liter) the ”E” will flash, and the “ FUEL
LEVEL VERY LOW” message will appear
in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). (On the analog
fuel gage, the “FUEL LEVEL VERY
LOW’’ message will
also appear.)
Here are a few concerns some owners have had about the fucl gage. All
these situations are normal and indicate nothing wrong with the fuel
gage.
0 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 “8 Gallons”? but it took morc -- or less -- than the tank’s
remaining capacity
to fill it.
The gage changes when you turn (or stop, or speed up).

!-
Use premium unleaded gasoline rated at 91 octane or higher. It should
meet specifications
ASTM D4814 in the US. and CGSB 3.5-92 in
Canada. These fuels should have the proper additives,
so you should not
have to add anything to the fuel.
In the U.S. and Canada, it’s easy to be sure you get the right kind of
only unleaded nozzles will fit into your vehicle’s filler neck.
T- gasoline (unleaded). You’ll see “UNLEADED” right on the pump. And
Be sure the posted octane is at least 91.
If the octane is less than 91, you
may get a heavy knocking noise when you drive. (In an emergency, you
may be able to use lower octane
-- as low as 87 -- if heavy knocking does
not occur.)
If you’re using 91 or higher octane unleaded gas and you still
get heavy knocking, your engine needs service.
