When the ignition is on, the
fuel gauge indicates the
approximate amount of fuel
left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the
fuel gauge pointing to the side
of the vehicle the fuel door
is on.
When the indicator nears
empty, the low fuel light
comes on. There still is a little
fuel left, but the vehicle should
be refueled soon.
The fuel gauge may:
.Take a little more, or less
fuel to fill up than it
indicates. For example, the
gauge may have indicated
the tank is half full, but it actually takes a little more,
or less than half the tank's
capacity to fill the tank.
.Move a little while turning a
corner, speeding up,
or braking.
.Take a few seconds to
stabilize after the ignition is
turned on and goes back to
empty when the ignition is
turned off.
These are normal conditions,
none of which indicate a
problem with the fuel gauge.
Fuel Range
The uplevel instrument cluster
has a estimated fuel range
located at the bottom center
of the display. The fuel range
is displayed with the
approximate distance the
vehicle can be driven without
refueling. The fuel range
estimate is based on an
average of the vehicle’s fuel
economy over recent driving
history and the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank. When the estimated fuel
range is low, the range shows
LOW and a message may also
display in the Driver
Information Center (DIC).

This gauge measures the
temperature of the vehicle's
engine.
While driving under normal
operating conditions, if the red
LED is illuminated, the engine
is too hot. Pull off the road,
stop the vehicle, and turn off
the engine as soon as
possible.
Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge
(Uplevel)
Sport Mode Shown, Track Mode Similar
This gauge shows the engine
coolant temperature.
If the gauge pointer moves
into the red zone, the engine is
too hot.
This reading indicates the
same thing as the warning
light. It means that the engine
coolant has overheated. If the
vehicle has been operating
under normal driving
conditions, pull off the road,
stop the vehicle, and turn off
the engine as soon as possible. See Engine
Overheating

information.
Seat Belt Reminders
Driver Seat Belt Reminder
Light
There is a driver seat 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 seat 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.
