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.
None of these indicate a problem with the vehicle’s
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 fill 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 fill the tank.
•The gage moves a little while turning a corner or
speeding up.
•The gage does not go back to empty when the
ignition is turned off.
When the fuel in the fuel tank is low, a LOW FUEL
message will display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). SeeDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4-37for more information.
