Pontiac Wave 2009, Owner'S Manual

Page: 157 / 342

Here are four things that some owners ask about. None
of these show a problem with the fuel gage:
•
At the service station, the gas pump shuts off
before the vehicle’s fuel 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 fuel 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 the vehicle turns
a corner or accelerates.
•
The fuel gage indicator goes back to empty when
the ignition is turned off.
Low Fuel Warning Light
This light comes on when
the vehicle is low on fuel.
The low fuel warning light comes on when there is
approximately 1.7 gallons (6.0 liters) of fuel remaining in
the tank.
To turn the light off, add fuel to the fuel tank. See Filling
the Tank on page 5-8.
