Here are four things that some owners ask about. None
of these mean a condition exists with the fuel gage:
• At the service station, the fuel pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
• It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
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 moves a little when you turn a corner or
speed up.
• The gage takes a few seconds to stabilize after the
ignition is turned on, but it goes back to empty
when the ignition is turned off.
For fuel tank capacity, see Capacities and Specifications
on page 5-104.
Low Fuel Warning Light
This light, below the fuel
gage, will come on briefly
when the engine is
started.
This light also comes on when the fuel tank is low on
fuel. When you add fuel the light should go off. If it does
not, have your vehicle serviced.
