Check Gages Light

Fuel Gage

United States
When the ignition is on, the fuel gage tells you about
how much fuel you have remaining.
If this light comes on and
stays on while you are
driving, check your coolant
temperature and engine oil
pressure gages to see if they
are in the warning zones.

Here are four things that some owners ask about. None
of these show a problem with your fuel gage:
D
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.
D
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 a
little more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
D
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or
speed up.
D
The gage doesn't go back to empty when you turn
off the ignition.
Low Fuel Light
This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel.
To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank. See "Fuel"
in the Index.
This light comes on briefly
when you start your engine.
