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.
AVERAGE: The fuel economy calculated for the
current
tank
of fuel, or since you last reset the display.
INST The fuel economy calculated for your current
driving conditions.
RANGE: The distance you can drive before refueling.
0
BLANK: The fuel gage is displayed alone.
You should reset the fuel information display every time
you refuel. To reset the display, press FUEL until
AVERAGE appears. Then, press RESET on the DIC.
