Fuel Gage
United States
Canada
The fuel gage, when the ignition is on, tells you about
how much fuel you have left in your tank.
The gage will first indicate empty before you are out
or
fuel, and you should get more fuel as soon as
possible.
When the fuel tank is low the
FUEL
LEVEL LOW
message will appear. See Driver Information Center
(DIC) on
page
3-52.
Here are some situations you may experience with your
fuel gage. None of these indicate a problem with the
fuel gage.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts
off
before
the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to
fill
up than the
fuel gage indicated. For example, the gage 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 gage goes back to empty when you turn
off
the
ignition.
Low Fuel Warning Light
The light next to the fuel gage will come on briefly when
you are starting the engine.
This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel.
To turn it
off,
add fuel to the fuel tank. See Fuel
on
page
5-5.
