Check Gages Light 
CHECK 
GAGES 
This  light will come on 
briefly  when you are 
starting  the engine. 
If  it stays on,  or if it comes on and stays  on while you 
are  driving,  check your various gages to  see  if they 
are in  the  warning  zones. 
Fuel  Gage 
W 
UNLEADED  FUEL  ONLY 
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  four  things that some owners  ask about. None 
of these  show a problem  with your  fuel gage:

At the  service  station, the  gas 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 
the  tank. 
The gage moves a little when  you turn a corner 
or 
speed up. 
The  gage doesn’t  go back 
to EMPTY (E) when  you 
turn 
off the  ignition.

Filling a Portable Fuel Container 
Never  fill a portable fuel container  while it is  in 
your  vehicle.  Static electricity  discharge from the 
container  can  ignite  the gasoline  vapor.  You can 
be  badly  burned  and your  vehicle  damaged  if this 
occurs. 
To help  avoid  injury to you and others: 
0 Dispense  gasoline  only  into approved 
containers.

Checking  Things Under  the Hood 
A "P 3N: 
&I - -- 
An electric  fan under the  hood can start  up and 
injure  you  even  when  the engine  is  not  running. 
Keep  hands,  clothing  and tools  away  from any 
underhood  electric  fan. 
Things  that  burn  can get  on  hot engine  parts and 
start  a  fire.  These  include  liquids  like  gasoline, 
oil,  coolant,  brake fluid,  windshield  washer  and 
other  fluids,  and plastic  or rubber.  You or others 
could  be  burned. Be careful  not  to drop or spill 
things  that will burn  onto 
a hot  engine.
