Fuel Gage Low Fuel Light
Your
fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you
have left when the ignition
is on. When the indicator
nears
EMPTY (E), you still
have a little fuel left, but
you should get more soon.
Here are some things owners ask about. All these
situations are normal and
do not show a problem with
your fuel gage:
At the service station, the pump shuts off before the
gage
reads FULL (F).
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 it.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or
speed up. If
your fuel is low, a light
will come on and stay
on
until you add fuel. It will
also come on for
a few
seconds when you first turn
on the ignition as a check
to
show you it’s working. If it
doesn’t come on then, have
it fixed.
