It works only when the ignition is on. When the
indicator nears Empty (E) you still have a little fuel left.
There is a reserve of about 1.5 gallons (5.6 L) in the fuel
tank. You need to get more fuel right away.
Here are some concerns some owners have had about
the fuel gage. All these situations are normal and do not
indicate anything wrong with the fuel gage.

At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads Full (F).

It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage
indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated
half full, but it took more (or less) than half of the
tank's capacity to fill it.

The gage moves a little when you turn a corner,
speed up or stop your vehicle.

When you turn the engine off, the gage doesn't go all
the way back to Empty (E).Low Fuel Light
A light near the Empty (E)
mark on the fuel gage
comes on when your vehicle
is low on fuel. You have
less than 3 gallons (11.7 L)
remaining in your fuel tank.
