Fuel Gauge
This shows how much fuel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount. The needle
returns to the bottom after you turn
off the ignition.
Avoid driving with an extremely low
f uel level. Running out of f uel could
cause the engine to misf ire, damaging
the catalytic converter.

If the system still detects a loose or
missing fuel cap, the Malfunction

retighten the fuel cap at least 3 clicks.
The MIL goes out after 3 days of
