Fuel Gage - Chevrolet 2006 Corvette Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage

When the needle approaches the low fuel symbol, a
chime will sound and LOW FUEL will appear on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) display. At this time, you
still have a little fuel left, but you should get more soon.
Press the RESET button to acknowledge a DIC
message(s). Pressing the RESET button will also turn
off a DIC message but the LOW FUEL message
will come on again in 10 minutes if you have not
added fuel to the vehicle.
Your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you
have left when the
engine is on.
Here are five things that some owners ask about.
All these things are normal and do not indicate that
anything is wrong with the fuel gage.
•
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads the full symbol.
•
It takes more (or less) fuel to fill up than the gage
reads. For example, the gage reads half full, but it
took more (or less) than half of the tank's
capacity to fit it.
•
The gage pointer may move while cornering,
braking or speeding up.
•
The gage may not indicate the tank is empty when
the ignition is turned off.
•
The gage reading may change slightly within the
first several minutes after starting the vehicle.
See DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-48 for
more information.
