message appears in the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4‑57
for more information.
Here are some situations customers may experience
with the fuel gage. None of these indicate a problem
with the fuel gage.

At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.

fuel 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 gage goes back to empty when the ignition is
turned off.
