Here are four things that some owners ask about. All
these things are normal and do not indicate a problem
with the fuel gage:
D At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.
D It takes more (or less) fuel to fill up than the gage
reads. For example, the gage reads half full, but it
takes more (or less) than half the fuel tank’s capacity
to fill it.
D The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking
or speeding up.
D The gage may not indicate empty when the ignition
is turned off.
Low Fuel Light
United States Canada
If your vehicle is low on fuel, this warning light near the
fuel gage will come on.
It will also come on for a few seconds when you first
turn on the ignition as a check to show you it’s working.
If it doesn’t come on then, the bulb may need to be
replaced. See your dealer to have it fixed right away.
