Fuel Gage - Pontiac Vibe 2007 Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage

United States
The fuel gage shows about how much fuel is in
your fuel tank. An arrow on the fuel gage indicates
that the fuel filler door is on the driver side of
your vehicle. The fuel gage works only when the
ignition switch is ON. When the gage first indicates
E or empty, you still have a little fuel left, about
1 or 2 gallons (3.8 L or 7.6 L), but you need to get
more right away. When your vehicle is low on
fuel the low fuel warning light, located below the
empty mark, will also come on to remind you
to add fuel.

Here are five things some owners ask about.
None of these show a problem with the fuel gage:
•
•
•
Canada
•
•
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off
before the gage reads F or full.
It takes 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 more or less than half the
tank's capacity to fill it.
It takes the gage several minutes to read F or
full after filling the vehicle with fuel.
The gage moves a little when you turn, stop
or speed up.
The gage does not go back to E or empty
when you turn off the ignition.
