When the ignition is on, the fuelgauge indicates about how muchfuel is left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuelgauge pointing to the side of thevehicle the fuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, thelow fuel light comes on. There still isalittlefuelleft,butthevehicleshould be refueled soon.
Here are four things that someowners ask about. None of theseshow a problem with the fuel gauge:
.At the service station, the fuelpump shuts off before the gaugereads full.
.It takes a little more or less fuelto fill up than the gaugeindicated. For example, thegauge may have indicated thetank was half full, but it actuallytook a little more or less thanhalf the tank's capacity to fillthe tank.
.The gauge moves a little whileturning a corner or speeding up.
.The gauge takes a few secondsto stabilize after the ignition isturned on, and goes back toempty when the ignition isturned off.

Voltmeter Gauge
When the ignition is on, this gaugeindicates the battery voltage.
When the engine is running, thisgauge shows the condition of thecharging system. The gauge cantransition from a higher to lower or alower to higher reading. This isnormal. If the vehicle is operatingoutside the normal operating range,the charging system light comes on.SeeCharging System Light0138for more information. The voltmetergauge may also read lower when infuel economy mode. This is normal.
Readings outside the normaloperating range can also occurwhen a large number of electricalaccessories are operating in thevehicle and the engine is left idlingfor an extended period. Thiscondition is normal since thecharging system is not able toprovide full power at engine idle. Asengine speeds are increased, thiscondition should correct itself ashigher engine speeds allow thecharging system to create maximumpower.
The vehicle can only be driven for ashort time with the readings outsidethe normal operating range. If thevehicle must be driven, turn off allaccessories, such as the radio andair conditioner.
Readings outside the normaloperating range indicate a possibleproblem in the electrical system.Have the vehicle serviced as soonas possible.
