Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on, the fuel gage shows how much
fuel is left in the fuel tank. When the indicator nears
empty, a LOW FUEL message appears on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-45for more information. The
vehicle still has a little fuel left, but the vehicle should be
fueled soon. An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side
of the vehicle the fuel door is on.Here are four things that some owners ask about.
These are normal and do not indicate a problem with
the fuel gage:
At the service 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 fuel tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than half the fuel tank’s
capacity to ll it.
The indicator moves a little when while turning a
corner or speeding up.
The gage goes back to empty when the ignition is
turned off. United States
