Fuel Gage

Your fuel gage shows
about how much fuel is
in your tank.
When the needle approaches the red zone, RESERVE
FUEL will appear on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) display. When the needle approaches the "E",
LOW FUEL will appear on the display.
Press RESET to let the vehicle know that you have
acknowledged 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 three concerns some owners have had about the
fuel gage. All these situations are normal and do not
indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage.

At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before the
gage reads FULL (F).
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 moves a little when you turn, stop or
speed up.
You can use the DIC to display more detailed fuel
information. Each time you press FUEL, one of the
following will appear in the DIC.
