Black plate (11,1)Chevrolet Captiva Sport Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Mexico-
6014141) - 2014 - crc - 8/13/13
Instruments and Controls 5-11
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge indicates how much fuel is
left in the tank.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There is still
a little fuel left, but the fuel tank
should be refilled soon. SeeLow
Fuel Warning Light on page 5-21 for
more information.
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates the side of the vehicle the
fuel door is on.
Here are four things that some
owners ask about. None of these
means the fuel gauge is not working
properly:
.At the service station, the fuel
pump shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
.It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the 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 moves a little while
turning a corner or speeding up.
.The gauge takes a few seconds
to stabilize after the ignition is
turned on, but it goes back to
empty when the ignition is
turned off.
For fuel tank capacity, see
Capacities and Specifications on
page 12-2.
Safety Belt Reminders
Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light
There is a driver safety belt
reminder light on the instrument
cluster.
When the vehicle is started this light
flashes and a chime may come on
to remind the driver to fasten their
safety belt. Then the light stays on
solid until the belt is buckled. This
cycle may continue several times if
the driver remains or becomes
unbuckled while the vehicle is
moving.
If the driver safety belt is buckled,
neither the light nor the chime
comes on.
Passenger Safety Belt
Reminder Light
There may be a passenger safety
belt reminder light near the
passenger airbag status indicator.
See Passenger Sensing System
(United States) on page 3-24.
