Fuel Gauge
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your vehicle is moving or
on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will indicate approximately how
much fuel is left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump
symbol indicates on which side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is
located.
The needle should move toward F when you refuel your vehicle. If the
needle points to E after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle needs
service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle position is normal:
•It may take a short time for the needle to reach F after leaving the gas
station. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the
gas station.

Service engine soon
Theservice engine soonindicator light illuminates when the
ignition is first turned to the on position to check the bulb and
to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing. Normally, the service engine soon
light will stay on until the engine is cranked, then turn itself off if no
malfunctions are present. However, if after 15 seconds the service engine
soon light blinks eight times, it means that the vehicle is not ready for
I/M testing. See theReadiness for inspection/maintenance (I/M)
testingin theFuel and Refuelingchapter.
Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the on-board
diagnostics system (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to
On-board diagnostics (OBD-II)in theFuel and Refuelingchapter. If
the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration
and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced immediately by an
authorized dealer.
WARNING:Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust
temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel
system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire. Have an authorized dealer service your vehicle
immediately.
Speed control (if equipped) (RTT)
The speed control system indicator light changes color to
indicate what mode the system is in:
•On (gray light-type 1, white light-type 2): Illuminates when the speed
control system is turned on. Turns off when the speed control system
is turned off.
•Engaged (white light-type 1, green light-type 2): Illuminates when the
speed control system is engaged. Turns off when the speed control
system is disengaged.
