Fuel Gage
The fuel gage indicates
about how much fuel is
left in the fuel tank
when the ignition is on.
When the indicator
nears empty, there is
still a little fuel left,
but you should get
more fuel soon.
Here are four things that some owners ask about.
All these things are normal and do not indicate that
anything is wrong with the fuel gage:
•
At the gas station, the pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
•
It takes more, or less, fuel to fill up than the gage
reads. For example, the gage reads half full,
but it took more, or less, than half of the tank’s
capacity to fill it.
•
The gage pointer may move while cornering,
braking or accelerating.
•
The gage may not indicate empty when the
ignition is turned off.
Low Fuel Warning Light
Your vehicle may have a low fuel light. It is a circle
located on the fuel gage and will come on and a
chime will sound periodically when the vehicle is low
on fuel. The light will go off when fuel is added to
the fuel tank.
It will also come on for a few seconds when the
ignition is turned on as a check to indicate it is working.
If it does not come on then, have it fixed.
For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC),
a LOW FUEL message will appear. See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-55 for more information.
Check Gas Cap Light
If your vehicle has this
light, it will come on if
your gas cap is not
securely fastened.
See Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 3-41 for
more information.
