The fuel gage, when the ignition is on, indicates how much fuel is left in the vehicle's fuel tank.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on.
The gage first indicates empty before the vehicle is out of fuel, and the fuel tank should be refueled soon.
Listed are four situations customers might experience with the fuel gage. None of these indicate a problem with the fuel gage:
• | At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before the gage reads full. |
• | It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the fuel 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 does not go back to empty when the ignition is turned off. |
If the vehicle has the DURAMAX Diesel engine, see the DURAMAX Diesel manual for more information.
