move. The engine could auto start at
any time. When the indicator points
to OFF, the vehicle is off.
The tachometer may vary by several
hundred rpm, during Auto Stop mode,
when the engine is shutting off and

Uplevel
The redline of the tachometer adjusts
dynamically based on engine
temperature. The redline displays a
lower indication when the vehicles
odometer value is less than
805 kilometers (500 miles).
If equipped, the shift indicators are
displayed on instrument cluster and
Head-Up Display (HUD). The shift
indicators are only operational when
the automatic transmission is in
Manual mode, or the vehicle has a
manual transmission. SeeManual
Mode 0250. When the vehicle engine
is less than 70°C (158°F) and the
vehicle odometer value is less than
805 kilometers (500 miles) the shift
indications are not displayed. A strong visual indicator is displayed
as the vehicle approaches the red line.
Tour and Sport themes feature shift
rings while the Track theme features
shift lights accompanied by a
numerical tachometer display.
Fuel Gauge
Base Level
Uplevel Sport Mode Shown, Other
Modes Similar When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuel gauge
pointing to the side of the vehicle the
fuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There still is
a little fuel left, but the vehicle should
be refueled soon.
The fuel gauge may:
.Take a little more, or less fuel to fill
up than it indicates. For example,
the gauge may have indicated the
tank is half full, but it actually takes
a little more, or less than half the
tank's capacity to fill the tank.
.Move a little while turning a corner,
speeding up, or braking.
.Take a few seconds to stabilize after
the ignition is turned on and goes
back to empty when the ignition is
turned off.
These are normal conditions, none of
which indicate a problem with the fuel
gauge.

Caution
Modifications to the engine,
transmission, exhaust, intake,
or fuel system, or the use of
replacement tires that do not meet
the original tire specifications, can
cause this light to come on. This
could lead to costly repairs not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
This could also affect the vehicle’s
ability to pass an Emissions
Inspection/Maintenance test. See
Accessories and Modifications0328.
If the light is f lashing : A
malfunction has been detected that
could damage the emission control
system and increase vehicle
emissions. Diagnosis and service may
be required.
To help prevent damage, reduce
vehicle speed and avoid hard
accelerations and uphill grades.
If towing a trailer, reduce the amount
of cargo being hauled as soon as
possible. If the light continues to flash, find a
safe place to park. Turn the vehicle off
and wait at least 10 seconds before
restarting the engine. If the light is
still flashing, follow the previous
guidelines and see your dealer for
service as soon as possible.
If the light is on steady :
A
malfunction has been detected.
Diagnosis and service may be
required.
Check the following:
.If fuel has been added to the vehicle
using the capless fuel funnel
adapter, make sure that it has been
removed. See “Filling the Tank with
a Portable Gas Can ”under Filling the
Tank 0317. The diagnostic system
can detect if the adapter has been
left installed in the vehicle, allowing
fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. A few driving trips with
the adapter removed may turn off
the light.
.Poor fuel quality can cause
inefficient engine operation and
poor driveability, which may go
away once the engine is warmed up.
If this occurs, change the fuel brand. It may require at least one
full tank of the proper fuel to turn
the light off. See
Recommended Fuel
(LSY 2.0L L4 Engine) 0316 or
Recommended Fuel (LGY 3.0L V6 and
LT4 6.2L V8 Engines) 0316.
If the light remains on, see your
dealer.
Emissions Inspection and
Maintenance Programs
If the vehicle requires an Emissions
Inspection/Maintenance test, the test
equipment will likely connect to the
vehicle's Data Link Connector (DLC).
The DLC is under the instrument
