FUEL GAGE
fI
I
Your fuel gage shows
about how much fuel is
in your tank.
It works only when the ignition is in the “RUN” position. The
17 bar
segments show the fuel remaining in your tank.
When only one bar segment still is lit, the
“LOW FUEC’ light will go on.
If the fuel supply gets critically low, none of the bar segments will be lit
and the
“LOW FUEC’ will flash. You should get fuel immediately.
Here are
a few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All
these situations are normal and indicate nothing wrong with the fuel
gage.
The pump at the gas station shuts off before the fuel gage reads “F”.

It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage said. For example,
the gage said
“l/Y, but it took more or less than half the tank capacity -
to fill it. I
The gage changes when you turn (or stop,or speed up)
