Fuel Gauge; Low Fuel Reminder - Ford Taurus 2015 Owner's Manual

Fuel Gauge

Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your vehicle is moving or
on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will indicate approximately how
much fuel is left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump
symbol indicates on which side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is
located.
The needle should move toward F when you refuel your vehicle. If the
needle points to E after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle needs
service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle position is normal:
• It may take a short time for the needle to reach F after leaving the gas
station. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the
gas station.
• The fuel amount dispensed into the tank is a little less or more than
the gauge indicated. This is normal and depends upon the slope of
pavement at the gas station.
• If the gas station nozzle shuts off before the tank is full, try a different
gas pump nozzle.

Low Fuel Reminder

A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuel gauge needle is at 1/16th.
