Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on,
the fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you
have left in your tank.
The gage will rst indicate empty before you are
out of fuel, and you should get more fuel as soon
as possible.Here are some situations you may experience with your
fuel gage. None of these indicate a problem with the
fuel gage.At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll up than the
fuel 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 goes back to empty when you turn off the
ignition.
Low Fuel Warning Light
The light next to the fuel gage will come on brie y when
you are starting the engine.
This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel.
To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank. SeeFuel on
page 5-5.
