Fuel Gauge
United States Canada
The fuel gauge, when the ignition is on, indicates how
much fuel is left in the vehicle's fuel tank.
An arrow on the fuel gauge indicates the side of the
vehicle the fuel door is on.
The gauge first indicates empty before the vehicle is out
of fuel, and the fuel tank should be refueled soon.
Listed are four situations customers might experience
with the fuel gauge. None of these indicate a problem
with the fuel gauge:
.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before
the gauge reads full.
.
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
fuel gauge indicated. For example, the gauge 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 gauge moves a little while turning a corner or
speeding up.
.
The gauge does not go back to empty when the
ignition is turned off.
If the vehicle has the DURAMAX Diesel engine, see the
DURAMAX Diesel manual for more information.
