The fuel gage shows about how much fuel you have left, when the ignition is on.

An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on.

When the indicator nears empty, the low fuel warning light will come on and along with a chime. There is still a little fuel left, but you should refuel soon.

Here are four things that some owners ask about. These are normal and do not indicate a problem with your fuel gage:

    • At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full.
    • It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated.
    • The indicator moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up.
    • The gage will continue to show the remaining fuel when the ignition is turned off.
