Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on, the fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you have remaining in
the fuel tank.Here are three things that some owners ask
about. None of these indicate 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.
When the fuel in the fuel tank is low, you will see
a LOW FUEL message on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) display. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 196for more information.
