Fuel Gage
Digital Cluster Analog Cluster
The fuel gage shows approximately how much fuel is in
the tank. It works only when the ignition is in RUN.
On the digital cluster, if the fuel level is within
approximately 2 gallons (7.6 L) of being full, the letter
“F” is shown. If the fuel supply gets down to
approximately 3 gallons (11.4 L), the number “3” will
be displayed on the fuel gage, and the FUEL LEVEL
LOW message will appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). (On the analog fuel gage, the FUEL
LEVEL LOW message will also appear.) If the fuel
level is less than approximately 3 gallons (11.4 L) from
being empty, the letter “E” is shown.
Here are a few concerns some owners have had about
the fuel gage. All of these situations are normal and do
not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage:
D At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads F.
D It takes more (or less) gas to fill the tank than the
gage said. For example, the gage read 8 GALLONS
(30 L), but it took more (or less) than the tank’s
remaining capacity to fill it.
D The gage may change when you turn, stop or
speed up.
