Fuel Gauge
Metric
EnglishWhen the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge shows how much fuel the
vehicle has left in the tank.
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates the side of the vehicle the
fuel door is on.
The gauge first indicates empty
before the vehicle is out of fuel, and
the fuel tank should be filled soon.
When the fuel tank is low, the FUEL
LEVEL LOW message appears in
the Driver Information Center (DIC).
See
Fuel System Messages on
page 5‑41 for more information. Here are some situations customers
may experience with the fuel gauge.
None of these indicate a problem
with the fuel gauge.
.At the gas station, the fuel pump
shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
.It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the fuel gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge 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 gauge goes back to empty
when the ignition is turned off.
