When the fuel tank is low on fuel,
a Fuel Level Low message will
appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). For more information
seeFuel System Messages on
page 4-33.
Here are some situations that can
occur with the 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
fill 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 fill the tank.
•The pointer on the fuel gage is on
empty when the ignition is off.
Engine Oil
Pressure Gage
The oil pressure gage, located in
front of the shifter, shows the engine
oil pressure in psi (pounds per
square inch) when the engine is
running. Canadian vehicles indicate
pressure in kPa (kilopascals).
Oil pressure may vary with engine
speed, outside temperature and oil
viscosity, but readings above the low
pressure zone indicate the normal
operating range. When the oil
pressure reaches the low pressure
zone, a message appears in the
Driver Information Center (DIC). United States
