Fuel Gage
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
The fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have remaining when the
ignition is
on. When the gage first indicates empty, you still have a little fuel
left, but you should get more fuel soon.
A box around the gage symbol on the digital cluster will begin to flash when
your tank
is 1/8 full or less.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None
of these show a
problem with your fuel gage:
0 At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For
example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half
full, but it
actually took a little more or less than half the tank’s capacity to fill the
tank.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up.
The gage doesn’t go back to empty when you turn off the ignition.
For your fuel tank capacity, see
the Index under “Fluid Capacities.”

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Loading Your Vehicle
The CertificatiodTire label is found on the driver’s door lock pillar. The
label shows
the size of your original tires and the inflation pressures needed
to obtain the gross weight capacity
of your vehicle. This is called the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the weight
of
the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
The Certificationnire label
also tells you the maximum weights for the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To find
out
the actual loads on your front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help you with this. Be sure
to spread out your load equally on both sides
of the centerline.
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.
Using heavier suspension components to get added durability might not
change your weight ratings.
Ask your dealer to help you load your vehicle
the right way.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or overinflation is
all right. It’s not. If your tires don’t have enough air
(underinflation)
you can get:
Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Bad wear
Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air (overinflation), you can get:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.
When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire pressure. Simply looking
at the tires will not tell you the pressure, especially if you have radial tires
- which may look properly inflated even if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help prevent
leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Be sure to use the
correct fuse.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
“borrow”
one of the correct value. Just pick some feature of your vehicle
that you can get along without-like
the radio or cigarette lighter-and use
its fuse, if it is
of the value you need. Replace it as soon as you can. See
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in this section.
