2-69 Overdrive Off Light (If Equipped)
This light comes on when
the automatic four
-speed
transmission has been
converted to the three
-speed
mode and the overdrive is
turned off.
This light also comes on as a check for approximately
five seconds when the ignition key is turned to ON
or START.
Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage shows about
how much fuel is in your
tank. When the gage first
indicates ªEº (empty), you
still have about one or two
gallons (4 to 8 L) of fuel left
in your tank, but you need
to get more right away.Here are four concerns some owners have had about 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 fuel pump shuts off before
the gage reads ªFº (full).
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 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 E (empty).

Filling a Portable Fuel Container
CAUTION:
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 fill a container while it is inside a
vehicle, in a vehicle's trunk, pickup bed or
on any surface other than the ground.
Bring the fill nozzle in contact with the
inside of the fill opening before operating
the nozzle. Contact should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
Don't smoke while pumping gasoline.
Checking Things Under the Hood
CAUTION:
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. Don't reach through the
grille to release the underhood lever.
