Fuel Gage; Low Fuel Warning Light - Pontiac G3 2009 Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage

United States
The fuel gage tells about how much fuel is left when the
ignition is turned to ON/RUN.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the
vehicle the fuel door is on.
When the fuel tank is near empty, the low fuel warning
light comes on. There is still a little fuel left, but the
vehicle's fuel tank should be filled soon.
Here are four things that some owners ask about.
None of these show a problem with the fuel gage:
•
At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before
the vehicle's fuel gage reads full.
•
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
fuel gage indicated. For example, the gage may
have indicated the fuel tank was half full, but
it actually took a little more or less than half the
tank's capacity to fill the tank.

Low Fuel Warning Light

Canada
The low fuel warning light comes on when there is
approximately 1.7 gallons (6.0 liters) of fuel remaining
in the tank.
To turn the light off, add fuel to the fuel tank. See Filling
the Tank on page 5-8.
The indicator moves a little when the vehicle turns
a corner or accelerates.
The fuel gage indicator goes back to empty when
the ignition is turned off.
This light comes on when
the vehicle is low on fuel.
