Service Vehicle Soon Light; Fuel Gage; Low Fuel Warning Light - Buick Automobile User Manual

Service Vehicle Soon Light

If the light comes on, see your dealer/retailer for service
as soon as possible.

Fuel Gage

When the indicator nears empty, there is still a little fuel
left, but you should get more fuel soon.
3-48
For vehicles with this light,
it will come on if a
condition exists that may
require the vehicle to
be taken in for service.
The fuel gage indicates
about how much fuel is left
in the fuel tank when the
ignition is on.
Here are four things that some owners ask about.
All these things are normal and do not indicate that
anything is wrong with the fuel gage:
•
At the gas station, the pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.
•
It takes more, or less, fuel to fill up than the gage
reads. For example, the gage reads half full, but
it took more, or less, than half of the tank's capacity
to fill it.
•
The gage pointer may move while cornering,
braking or accelerating.
•
The gage may not indicate empty when the ignition
is turned off.

Low Fuel Warning Light

Your vehicle may have a low fuel light. It is a circle
located on the fuel gage and will come on and a chime
will sound periodically when the vehicle is low on fuel.
The light will go off when fuel is added to the fuel tank.
It will also come on for a few seconds when the ignition
is turned on as a check to indicate it is working. If it
does not come on then, have it fixed.
For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC), a
LOW FUEL message will appear. See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-58 for more information.
