Messages on page 5 31. The
vehicle still has a little fuel left, but
the vehicle should be fueled soon.
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates the side of the vehicle the
fuel door is on.
Here are four things that some
owners ask about. These are
normal and do not indicate a
problem with the fuel gauge:
At the service station, the gas
pump shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
fuel tank was half full, but it
actually took a little more or less
than half the fuel tank's capacity
to fill it.
The indicator moves a little while
turning a corner or speeding up.
The gauge goes back to empty
when the ignition is turned off.

Driver Efficiency Gauge

For eAssist vehicles, this gauge
assists in driving efficiently and will
vary based on driver input.
To maximize efficiency, keep the
gauge pointed in the solid green
zone in the center of the gauge.
The gauge moves to the left when
braking and to the right when
accelerating. When either is done
aggressively, the vehicle is being
driven less efficiently and the gauge
will move further from the center.
Instruments and Controls
Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge

coolant temperature.

If the vehicle has been operated
under normal driving conditions, pull
off the road, stop the vehicle, and
turn off the engine as soon as
possible.
