Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on, the fuel gage tells you about
how much fuel you have remaining.
A chime will sound and the check gages warning
light will come on when your fuel level is low. FUEL
LEVEL LOW will appear on the DIC display. See
Check
Gages Warning Light on page 3-38, ªFuel Rangeº under
DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-42, andDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-45for
more information.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None
of these show a problem with your fuel gage:
·At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
·It takes a little more or less fuel to ®ll up than the
gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took
a little more or less than half the tank's capacity
to ®ll the tank.
·The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or
speed up.
·The gage doesn't go back to empty when you turn
off the ignition.
