Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows
how much fuel the vehicle
has left while the engine
is on.
An arrow on the fuel gauge indicates the side of the
vehicle the fuel door is on.
When the needle approaches the low fuel symbol, a
chime sounds and LOW FUEL appears on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) display. There is still a little fuel
left, but the vehicle's fuel tank should be filled soon.
Press the RESET button to acknowledge a DIC
message(s). Pressing the RESET button also turns off a
DIC message but the LOW FUEL message comes on
again in 10 minutes if fuel is not 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 gauge.
.
At the service station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gauge reads the full.
.
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
gauge indicated. For example, the gauge may
have indicated half full, but it took a little more or
less than half of the tank's capacity to fill the tank.
.
The gauge pointer may move while cornering,
braking or speeding up.
.
The gauge may not indicate the tank is empty
when the ignition is turned off.
.
The gauge reading may change slightly within the
first several minutes after starting the vehicle.
