Your fuel 
gage  tells  you  about  how  much  fuel you  have 
left,  when  the  ignition  is on.  When  the  gage  first 
indicates 
EMPTY (E), you  still have  a  little fuel left,  but 
you  should  get more  soon. 
After  filling  the fuel tank,  the  gage  will  not  read 
FULL 
(F) until  the  ignition is turned  on. 
Here 
are four  things  that  some owners  ask  about.  None 
of  these  show  a  problem  with  your  fuel gage: 
0 At  the  service  station,  the  gas  pump  shuts  off before 
the gage  reads  FULL 
(F). 
0 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 Eull, but  it  actually  took  a  little  more 
or less  than  half  the tank‘s capacity  to  fill  the tank. 
0 The  gage  moves  a  little  when  you  turn  a  corner, 
brake  or speed  up. 
0 The  gage  doesn’t  go back  to EMPTY (E) when  you 
turn  off  the  ignition. 
Low Fuel  Warning  Light 
If your  fuel is  low,  the 
warning  light  next  to  the 
fuel  gage  will  go  on  and  stay  on  until  you  add  fuel. 
If  the  warning  light  is  still  on  after  adding  fuel,  you  need 
to  reset  the  warning  light. 
To reset  the  warning  light, 
turn  the  ignition  to OFF then  to 
ON. If the  light  stays  on, 
see  your  dealer  for service. 
This  light  will  also come on  when  you  turn  on  the 
ignition,  but  the  engine  is  not  running,  to show  you 
it is 
working.  If  it doesn’t  come  on  as  you  start  your  vehicle, 
have  it  fixed  right  away.
