Fuel Gage; Low Fuel Warning Light - Chevrolet Silverado Classic 2007 Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage

United States
When the ignition is on, the fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you have left in your tank.
The gage will first indicate empty before you
are out of fuel, and you should get more fuel
as soon as possible.
When the fuel tank is low the FUEL LEVEL LOW
message will appear. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 269 for more information.

Low Fuel Warning Light

The light next to the fuel gage will come on briefly
when you are starting the engine.
This light comes on when the fuel tank is low
on fuel. To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank.
See Fuel on page 470.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off
before the 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 tank was
half full, but it actually took a little more or less
than half the tank's capacity to fill the tank.
The gage goes back to empty when you
turn off the ignition.
