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. The gage needle should move no more
than
1/8 of a tank under any driving maneuver.
LOW
FUEL
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, see
your dealer.
