Fuel Gage - Chevrolet 2002 Cavalier Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage

United States
Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have
left. When the indicator nears empty, the CHECK
GAGES light will come on. You still have about
1.5 gallons (5.7 L) of fuel left, but you should get more
soon. See "Check Gages Light" earlier in this section for
more information.

of these show a problem with your fuel gage:
D
At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
D
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up that 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.
For your fuel tank capacity, see "Capacities and
Specifications" in the Index.
