for more information. The vehicle still has a
little fuel left, but the vehicle should be fueled soon. An
arrow on the fuel gauge indicates the side of the vehicle
the fuel door is on.
Here are four things that some owners ask about.
These are normal and do not indicate a problem with
the fuel gauge:
.
At the service station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gauge reads full.
.
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
gauge indicated. For example, the gauge may
have indicated the fuel tank was half full, but it
actually took a little more or less than half the fuel
tank's capacity to fill it.
.
The indicator moves a little while turning a corner
or speeding up.
.
The gauge goes back to empty when the ignition is
turned off.
