Fuel Gage - Chevrolet 2002 Malibu Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage

United States
Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have
left, when the ignition is on. When the indicator nears
empty, the light, located near the empty symbol, will
come on and you will hear a chime. You still have a
little fuel left, but you should get more soon.

The gage moves a little when you turn a corner
or speed up.
