FUEL GAGE
fI
I
Your fuel gage shows
about how much fuel is
in your tank.
It works only when the ignition is in the “RUN” position. The
17 bar
segments show the fuel remaining in your tank.
When only one bar segment still is lit, the
“LOW FUEC’ light will go on.
If the fuel supply gets critically low, none of the bar segments will be lit
and the
“LOW FUEC’ will flash. You should get fuel immediately.
Here are
a few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All
these situations are normal and indicate nothing wrong with the fuel
gage.
The pump at the gas station shuts off before the fuel gage reads “F”.

It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage said. For example,
the gage said
“l/Y, but it took more or less than half the tank capacity -
to fill it. I
The gage changes when you turn (or stop,or speed up)
OIL LIFE INDICATOR

need to change your engine
oil. It’s based upon the engine oil
temperatures and your driving patterns.

even say to change it before
3000 miles under severe conditions. It all
depends on your driving patterns. (If it doesn’t, or
if it doesn’t even light
up, then something is wrong.
You will need to have it serviced.)
There are
two things the system won’t do: It can’t sense heavy dust in the
places where you drive.
If you drive in a dusty area, you should change
your oil every
3000 miles (5000 krn) or 3 months (whichever comes first),
unless the
“CHANGE OIL? light comes on sooner.
It doesn’t check how much oil you have
so you will still have to check for
that.
To check it, see the Index under “Engine Oil.”
When You’ve Changed the Oil
When new oil is put in, you’ll need to reset your system. To do that, turn
the ignition switch to the
“ON” position with the engine stopped. Fully
depress and release the accelerator pedal
3 times within 5 seconds.
If the “CHANGE OK’ light comes on and stays on for
5 seconds, it did
not reset. You’ll need to reset the system again.
