Battery voltage gauge (if equipped)
Indicates battery voltage. If the
pointer moves and stays outside the
normal operating range (as
indicated), have the vehicle's
electrical system checked as soon as
possible.
Fuel gauge
Displays approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge
may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion or on a grade.
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.
²Standard instrument cluster
²Optional instrument cluster
A minimum of four gallons must be
added or removed from the fuel
tank in order for the gauge to
instantaneously update. If less than
four gallons is added, the gauge will
take between five to ten minutes to
update.
