Fuel Gage - Pontiac 2000 Bonneville Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage

United States
When the ignition is on, your fuel gage tells you about
how much fuel you have in your tank.
2-78
When the gage reads in the yellow band, a warning
chime will sound and the CHECK GAGES warning
light will come on. You still have a little fuel left, but
you need to get more fuel right away.
On vehicles with the optional DIC, the CHECK GAGES
LOW FUEL message will be displayed when the fuel
gage reads in the yellow band. See "DIC Warnings and
Messages" in the Index for more information.

It take a little more (or less) fuel to fill up than the
gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a
little more (or less) than half the tank's capacity to
fill the tank.
