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.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC).
The DIC displays information about your vehicle. It
also displays warning messages if a system
problem is detected.
All messages will appear in the DIC display
located at the top of the instrument panel cluster.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on.
After a short delay, the DIC will display the
information that was last displayed before the
engine was turned off.The DIC also displays a shift lever position
indicator on the bottom line of the display. See
Automatic Transmission Operation on page 129for
more information.
The outside air temperature also displays on the
DIC when viewing the trip and fuel information.
The outside air temperature automatically appears
in the top right corner of the DIC display. If
there is a problem with the system that controls
the temperature display, the numbers will be
replaced with dashes. If this occurs, have
the vehicle serviced.
If your vehicle has DIC buttons, see “DIC
Operation and Displays (With DIC Buttons)” later
in this section andDIC Vehicle Customization
(With DIC Buttons) on page 250for the displays
available.
If your vehicle does not have DIC buttons, see
“DIC Operation and Displays (Without DIC
Buttons)” later in this section for the displays
available.
