Fuel Gage
United States
Canada
When the indicator nears EMPTY (E), you still have a
little fuel left, but you should get more soon.
If your fuel is low, the warning light near the fuel gage
will go on. See “Low Fuel Warning Light” later in
this section.
Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have
left when the ignition is on.
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.
D At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads FULL (F).
D 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.
D The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking
or speeding up.
D The gage may not indicate EMPTY (E) when the
ignition is turned off.
