Fuel Gauge - Toyota 2001 Prius Owner's Manual

Fuel gauge

24p001a
The gauge works when the ignition
switch is on and indicates the approxi-
mate quantity of fuel remaining in the
tank.
Nearly full–Indicator at "F"
Nearly empty–Indicator at "E"
It is a good idea to keep the tank over
1/4 full.
When you refuel on the slope, the indica-
tor may not show the correct level.
After the auxiliary battery is reconnected,
one segment will flash for a while.
88
Depending on the ambient temperature,
the fuel quantity is less than 45 L (11.9
gal., 9.9 lmp. gal.) even at "F". However,
this does not affect the fuel consumption
and the remaining fuel ratio indicated on
the gauge. (For details, see "Fuel" on
page 146 in Section 3.)

If the fuel level approaches "E" or the low
fuel level indicator light blinks, fill the fuel
tank as soon as possible.
