Indicators - Chevrolet 2010 Equinox Owner's Manual

Here are some situations that can
occur with the fuel gage. None of
these indicate a problem with the
fuel gage.
At the service station, the fuel
pump shuts off before the gage
reads full.
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.
The gage moves a little while
turning a corner or speeding up.
The gage takes a few seconds
to stabilize after the ignition is
turned on, and goes back to
empty when the ignition is
turned off.
This gage measures the
temperature of the vehicle's
engine.
If the indicator needle moves to the
hot side of the gage towards the
colored line, the engine is too hot.
A temperature indicator light will
turn on.
If the vehicle has been operated
under normal driving conditions, and
the temperature indicator light
comes on, pull off the road, stop the
vehicle and turn off the engine as
soon as possible.
There is a driver safety belt
reminder light on the instrument
panel cluster.
When the engine is started this light
and a chime come on and stay on
for several seconds to remind
drivers to fasten their safety belts.
The light also begins to flash.
This cycle repeats if the driver
remains unbuckled and the vehicle
is moving.
If the driver safety belt is already
buckled, neither the light nor chime
come on.
