Fuel Gage - Cadillac 2008 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.
Your fuel gage tells
you about how much
fuel you have left when
the ignition is on.
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.
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.
