GM None Pontiac Aztek - Manual (Page 169)

Here are four things that some owners ask about. All
these things are normal and do not indicate that
anything is wrong with the fuel gage.
• At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
• It takes a little more (or less) fuel to fill up than the
gage reads. For example, the gage reads half full,
but it took more (or less) than half of the tank’s
capacity to fill it.
• The gage pointer may move while cornering,
braking or speeding up.
• The gage may not indicate empty when the ignition
is turned off.
Message Center
The message center is located in the instrument panel
cluster at the bottom of the tachometer. It gives you
important safety and maintenance facts.

When this message is displayed, the traction control
system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving

If there’s an engine-related and brake system problem
that is specifically related to traction control, the
traction control system will turn off and the warning
message will come on.
If the traction control system warning message comes
