Fuel Gage; Low Fuel Warning Light - Saturn 2004 L-Series Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage

When the indicator nears empty, the low fuel light will
come on. You still have a little fuel left, but you
should get more soon. See Low Fuel Warning Light on
page 3-40 for more information.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None
of these show a problem with your fuel gage:
•
At the service station, the fuel 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 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.

When the ignition is on,
the fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you
have left in your tank.
•
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or
speed up.
•
The gage takes a few seconds to stabilize after the
ignition is turned on, and will go back to empty
when you turn the ignition off.
For your fuel tank capacity, see Capacities and
Specifications on page 5-98.

Low Fuel Warning Light

This light also comes on when the fuel tank is low on
fuel. When you add fuel the light should go off. If it
doesn't, have your vehicle serviced.
The light next to the fuel
gage will come on briefly
when you are starting
the engine.
