comesonasareminderthatyou
must ref uel soon. When the indicator
comes on, there is about 2.5 US gal
(9.5

bef ore the reading reaches E. There
is a small reserve of f uel remaining
in the tank when the reading does
reach E. This indicator normally comes on f or
a f ew seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position.
If itcomesonandstaysonatany
other time, or it does not come on
when you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, there is a
problem with the VSA system. You
will also see a ‘‘CHECK VSA
SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-
inf ormation display (see page ).
Take your vehicle to a dealer to have
it checked. Without VSA, your
vehicle still has normal driving ability,
but will not have VSA traction and
