when the ignition is in the “RUN” position.

“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
approximately
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

message will also appear.)
Here are a few concerns some owners have had about the

7 While refueling, hang the cap inside the fuel
door.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left (ccruntcrclwkuiw).
A CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on you and then something ignites it, you
could be badly burned. Gasoline can spray out on you
if you
open the fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen if
your tank
is nearly full, and is more likely in hot weather. Open
the fuel filler cap slowly and wait for any “hiss” noise to stop.
Then unscrew the cap all the way.
When you put the cap back on, turn it to the right until you hear a
clicking noise.

The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the
driver's door. It tells you the gross weight capacity
of your vehicle, called
the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight
of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front or rear axle.
And,
if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Don't carry
more than
176 lbs. (80 kg) in your trunk .
A CAUTION:
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the
maximum front and rear
GAWRs. If you do, parts on your
vehicle can break, or it can change the way your vehicle handles.
These could cause you
to lose control. Also, overloading can
shorten the life
of your vehicle.
