GAGES
This warning light will
come on briefly when you
are starting the engine.
If the light comes on and stays on while you are driving,
check your gages to see
if they are in the warning areas.
Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage shows about
how much fuel is in your
tank.
The gage works only
when the ignition is
in
RUN.
When the gage pointer first indicates empty (E) you
need to get more fuel right away.
Here
are four concerns some owners have had abut the
fuel gage. All these situations are normal and do not
indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage.

At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads full
(F).
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage
reads. For example, the gage reads
1/2 full, but it
took more (or less) than half
of the tank’s capacity to
fill it.
The gage moves
a little when you turn, stop or
speed up.
When
you turn the engine off, the gage doesn’t go
back to empty
(E).
