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).

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,
brake or speed
up.
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
worlung. If it doesn’t come on as you start your vehicle,
have it fixed right away.

Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as
soon as possible. See “Cleaning the
Outside
of Your Vehicle” in the Index.
When you put the cap back on,
turn it to the right
(clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound. Make sure
you fully install the cap. The diagnostic system can
determine
if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly
installed. This would allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. See “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in
the Index.
.
NOTICE:
If you need a new cap, be sure to get the right
type. Your retailer can get one for you.
If you get
the wrong type,
it may not fit properly. This may
cause your malfunction indicator lamp to light
and your fuel tank and emissions system may be
damaged. See “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in
the Index.
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:
Dispense gasoline only into
approved containers.
Do not fiil a container while it is inside a
vehicle, in a vehicle’s trunk, pickup bed or
on any surface other than the ground.
