For 1990-2009 cars only
The fuel gage shows approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. It works only when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on.
If the fuel supply gets low, the Fuel Level Low message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and a single chime will sound. See DIC Warnings and Messages for more information.
Here are a few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All of these situations are normal and do not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage:
| • | At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full. |
| • | The gage may change when you turn, stop quickly or accelerate quickly. |
| • | It takes a little more or less fuel to fill the tank than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated that the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill the tank. |
