Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel
you have left when the
ignition is on.
When the needle approaches the red zone, RESERVE
FUEL will appear on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) display. When the needle approaches the ªE,º
LOW FUEL will appear on the display. At this time,
you still have a little fuel left, but you should get
more soon.
Press RESET to acknowledge a DIC message(s).
Pressing RESET will also turn off a DIC message but
the LOW FUEL message will come on again in
10 minutes if you have not added fuel to the vehicle.Here are four things that some owners ask about.
All these things 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) fuel to fill up than the gage
reads. For example, the gage reads half full, but it
took more (or less) than half of the tank's capacity to
fit it.
The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking
or speeding up.
The gage may not indicate EMPTY (E) when the
ignition is turned off.
You can use the Driver Information Center (DIC) to
display more detailed fuel information. Each time you
press FUEL, one of the following will appear in the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
AVERAGE: The fuel economy calculated for the
current tank of fuel, or since you last reset the display.
INST: The fuel economy calculated for your current
driving conditions.
RANGE: The distance you can drive before refueling.
BLANK: The fuel gage is displayed alone.
