Oil” in the Index.

You can read battery voltage on your voltmeter. If it
reads less than
11 volts or more than 16 volts while your
engine is running, and
it stays there, you may have a
problem with the electrical charging system. Have it
checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter reading
in a warning zone could drain your battery.
If you idle your engine for a while, the voltmeter
reading might move into the yellow zone.
If the reading
stays in the yellow zone while you are driving, you may
have a problem with the electrical charging system.
Have it checked. While the voltmeter reads in the yellow
zone, your battery may
not be able to power certain
electrical accessories, like ABS.
(If this happens, your
ABS INOP light will come on. See “Anti-Lock Brake
System Warning Light” in this section.)
If you must drive a short distance with the voltmeter
reading in a warning zone, turn
off all your accessories,
including your air conditioning system and audio
systems.

fuel gage. All
these situations are normal and do not
indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage.

Your fuel gage shows about how much fuel is in your
tank. The fuel gage works only when the ignition switch
is in the RUN position. When the gage pointer first
indicates EMPTY
(E) you still have a little fuel left
(about
one to two gallons), but you need to get more
right away. At the
gas station,
the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads
FULL (F).
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage
reads. For example, the gage reads 1/2 full, but
it
took more (or less) than half of the tank’s capacity to
fill
it.
The gage moves a little when you turn, stop or speed
UP.
When
you turn the engine off, the gage doesn’t PO
back to EMPTY (E),
