The fuel gauge shows approximately how
much fuel is remaining in the tank when
the ignition is switched ON. We

If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-33 .
NOTE
•After refueling, it may require some time
for the indicator to stabilize. In addition,
the indicator may deviate while driving
on a slope or curve since the fuel moves
in the tank.
•The display indicating a quarter or less
remaining fuel has more segments to
show the remaining fuel level in greater
detail.
•The direction of the arrow () indicates
that the fuel-filler lid is on the left side
of the vehicle.

When the ignition is switched ON in the
early evening or at dusk, the dashboard

seconds until the light sensor detects the
brightness of the surrounding area,
however, the dimmer may cancel after
the brightness is detected.

the position lights indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
