Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gage indicates how much fuel is
left in the tank.
When the indicator nears empty,
the low fuel light comes on. There is
still a little fuel left, but the fuel tank
should be refilled soon. See Low
Fuel Warning Light on page 3-41
for more information.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates
the side of the vehicle the fuel
door is on.
Here are four things that some
owners ask about. None of these
means the fuel gage is not working
properly:
• 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 while
turning a corner or speeding 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 5-86.
Low Fuel Warning Light
The low fuel warning light, below
the fuel gage, comes on briefly when
the engine is started.
This light also comes on when the
fuel tank is low on fuel. When fuel is
added, the light should go off. If it
does not, have the vehicle serviced.
