Low fuel reminder
Illuminates as an early reminder of
a low fuel condition indicated on
the fuel gauge (refer to Fuel
Gauge in this chapter for more
information). When refueling the
vehicle after the light first comes
on, the amount of fuel that can be
added will be less than the
advertised capacity since there is
still fuel in the tank. The ignition
must be in the ON position for this
lamp to illuminate. The lamp will
also illuminate for several seconds
immediately after the ignition is
turned to the ON position
regardless of the fuel level for bulb
verification.CHECK

Air bag readiness

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge displays
approximately how much fuel is in
the tank (when the key is in the
ON position). The fuel gauge may
vary slightly when the vehicle is in
motion. The ignition should be in
the OFF position while the vehicle
is being refueled. When the gauge
first indicates empty, there is a
small amount of reserve fuel in the
tank. When refueling the vehicle
from empty indication, the amount
of fuel that can be added will be
less than the advertised capacity
due to the reserve fuel.
