Fuel Gage - Chevrolet 2010 Corvette Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage

An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the
vehicle the fuel door is on.
When the needle approaches the low fuel symbol, a
chime sounds and LOW FUEL appears on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) display. There is still a little fuel
left, but the vehicle's fuel tank should be filled soon.
Press the RESET button to acknowledge a DIC
message(s). Pressing the RESET button also turns off a
DIC message but the LOW FUEL message comes on
again in 10 minutes if fuel is not added to the vehicle.
The fuel gage shows how
much fuel the vehicle has
left while the engine 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 service station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads the full.
•
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated half full, but it took a little more or
less than half of the tank's capacity to fill the tank.
•
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.
See DIC Operation and Displays on page 4-46 for more
