Cadillac 2009 XLR Automobile User Manual


 
Fuel Gage
The fuel gage indicates
about how much fuel is left
when the ignition is
turned on.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the
vehicle the fuel door is on.
When the needle approaches the low fuel symbol, LOW
FUEL will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
display. At this time, there is still have a little fuel left,
but the vehicle’s fuel tank should be filled soon.
Press RESET to acknowledge a DIC message(s).
Pressing RESET will also turn off a DIC message but
the LOW FUEL message will come on again in
10 minutes if fuel has not been added to the vehicle.
Here are five 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 gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads the full symbol.
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 speeding up.
The gage may not indicate the tank is empty when
the ignition is turned off.
The gage reading may change slightly within the
first several minutes after starting the vehicle.
