When the ignition is on, the fuel gage indicates about how much fuel the vehicle has left in the fuel tank.

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

Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with the fuel gage:

    • At the gas 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. For example, the gage might 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.
