Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you
have left, when the ignition is on. When the indicator
nears empty, the amber light located left of the
pump symbol will come on and you will hear a chime.
You still have a little fuel left, but you should get
more soon. The arrow on the fuel gage points to
side of the vehicle with the fuel door.
Here are four things that some owners ask about.
These are normal and do not indicate a problem with
your fuel gage:
•
At the service station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.
•
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
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 indicator moves a little when you turn a corner
or speed up.
•
The gage goes back to empty when you turn off the
ignition.
