Fuel Gauge
United States Canada
The fuel gauge, when the ignition is on, shows how
much fuel the vehicle has left in the 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 vehicle's fuel tank should be filled soon.
When the fuel tank is low, the FUEL LEVEL LOW
message appears in the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4‑61
for more information.
Here are some situations owners may 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 goes back to empty when the ignition is
turned off.
For vehicles with a Two-mode Hybrid, see the
Two-mode Hybrid manual for more information.
