1 gallon (3.8 liters) the E will tlash and the FUEL LEVEL VERY LOW
message will appear in the Driver Information Center (DIC).
Here are a few concerns sonx owners have had about the fuel gage. A11
these situations arc normal and indicate that nothing is wrong with thc
fuel gage.
0 At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before the L gage reads E
It takes nlore (or less) gas to fill up than the gage said. For example,
the
gage read 8 GALLONS, but it took more (or less) than the tank's
remaining capacity to fill it.
0 The gage mag change when you turn, stop, or speed up.

The Tire-Loading Information label found on the driver's door tells you
the proper size? speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for the
tires on your vehicle. It also gives you important information about the
number
of people that can be in your vehicle and the total weight that you
can carry. This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and includes
the weight of all occupants, cargo and all non-factory installed options.

Don’t tow a trailer at all during the first 1,000 miles ( 1 600 krn) your new
vehicle
is driven. Your engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.
0 Then, during the first 500 miles (800 km) that you tow a trailcr, don’t
drive over
50 mph (80 km/h) and don’t make starts at full throttle. This
helps
your engine and other parts of your vehicle wear in at the
heavier loads.
Obey speed limit restrictions when towing a trailer. Don’t drive faster
than the maximum posted speed
for trailers (or no more than 55 mph
(90 kndh)) to save wear on your vehicle’s parts.
Three important considerations
have to do with weight:
Weight of the Trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely bc?
It should never weigh more than 1.000 pounds (450 kg) total, including
the load.
But even that can be too hcavy.
c
It depends 011 how you plan to use your rig. For example, speed, altitude,
road grades, outsidc tcmperature and how mrrch your vehicle is used to
pull a trailer are all important. And, it can also depend on any spccial
equipment that you have on your vehicle.

Weight of the frailer Tongue
The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important weight to measure
because it affects the total capacity weight of your vehiclc. The capacity
weight
includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo you may carry in
it, and the people who will be riding it1 the vehicle. And if you will tow a
trailer: you must subtract the tongue load from your vehicle‘s capacity
weight because your vehicle
will be carrying that weight, too. See
“Loading Your Vehicle”
in the Index for more information about your
vehicle’s maximum load capacity.
