Fuel Gage US-Canada
United States
Canada
When the ignition is on, the fuel gage shows about how much fuel is left in the fuel tank.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on.
The gage will first indicate empty before the vehicle is out of fuel, but the vehicle's fuel tank should be filled soon.
When the fuel tank is low the FUEL LEVEL LOW message appears. See DIC Warnings and Messages for more information.
Here are some situations owners can 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 fuel tank's capacity to fill it. |
| • | The gage goes back to empty when the ignition is turned off. |
For a diesel engine, see "Fuel Gage" in the Diesel Engine Supplement.
