The fuel gage shows how much fuel the vehicle has left while the engine is on.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on.
When the needle approaches the low fuel symbol, a chime sounds and LOW FUEL appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. There is still a little fuel left, but the vehicle's fuel tank should be filled soon.
Press the RESET button to acknowledge a DIC message(s). Pressing the RESET button also turns off a DIC message but the LOW FUEL message comes on again in 10 minutes if fuel is not added to the vehicle.
Here are five things that some owners ask about. All these things are normal and do not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage.
| • | At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads the full. |
| • | It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated half full, but it took a little more or less than half of the tank's capacity to fill the tank. |
| • | The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking or speeding up. |
| • | The gage may not indicate the tank is empty when the ignition is turned off. |
| • | The gage reading may change slightly within the first several minutes after starting the vehicle. |
