J Fuel gauge
Low fuel warning light
The fuel gauge shows the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the
tank.
The gauge does not return to "E" even though the ignition switch is in the
"ACC" or "LOCK" position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning or acceleration due
to fuel movement in the tank.
B Low fuel warning light
The low fuel warning light comes on when the tank is nearly empty
(about 2.3 U.S. gal., 9.0 liters, 1.9 Imp. gal.). It only operates when the
ignition switch is in the "ON" position.
