Fuel Gauge

Metric
English
The fuel gauge, when the ignition
is on, shows how much fuel the
vehicle has left in the tank.
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates the side of the vehicle
the fuel door is on.
The gauge first indicates empty
before the vehicle is out of fuel,
and the vehicle's fuel tank should be
filled soon.
When the fuel tank is low, the
FUEL LEVEL LOW message
appears in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See Fuel System
Messages on page 5 42 for more
information.
Here are some situations owners
may experience with the fuel gauge.
None of these indicate a problem
with the fuel gauge.
At the gas station, the fuel pump
shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the fuel gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge 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 gauge goes back to empty
when the ignition is turned off.
If the vehicle is a hybrid, see the
hybrid supplement for more
information.
