Fuel Gauge
Metric Uplevel Shown
English Uplevel Shown
When the ignition is on, the fuelgauge indicates about how muchfuel is left in the tank.
An arrow on the fuel gaugeindicates the side of the vehicle thefuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, thelow fuel light comes on. There is asmall amount of fuel left, but the fueltank should be filled soon.
Here are four things that someowners ask about. None of theseshow a problem with the fuel gauge:
.At the service station, the fuelpump shuts off before the gaugereads full.
.It takes a little more or less fuelto fill up than the gaugeindicated. For example, thegauge indicated the tank washalf full, but it actually took alittle more or less than half thetank's capacity to fill the tank.
.The gauge moves a little whileturning a corner or speeding up.
.The gauge takes a few secondsto stabilize after the ignition isturned on, and goes back toempty when the ignition isturned off.
