Fuel Gage - Cadillac 2005 XLR Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage

When the needle approaches the low fuel symbol, LOW
FUEL will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
display. At this time, you still have a little fuel left, but
you should get more soon.
Press RESET to acknowledge a DIC message(s).
Pressing RESET will also turn off a DIC message but
the LOW FUEL message will come on again in
10 minutes if you have not added fuel to the vehicle.

Your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you
have left when the
ignition is on.
Here are five 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 gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads the full symbol.
•
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 fit it.
•
The gage pointer may move while cornering,
braking or speeding up.
•
The gage may not indicate the tank is empty when
the ignition is turned off.
•
The gage reading may change slightly within the
first several minutes after starting the vehicle.
