Fuel Gage
United States
Canada
When the ignition is on, the fuel gage tells you about
how much fuel you have left in your tank.
The gage will first indicate empty before you are out of
fuel, and you should get more fuel as
soon as
possible.
Here are some situations you may experience with your
fuel gage. None of these indicate a problem with the
fuel gage.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
fuel gage indicated. For example, the gage may
have indicated the tank was half full, but
it actually
took a little more or less than half the tank's
capacity to
fill the tank.
The gage goes back to empty when you turn off the
ignition.
Low Fuel Warning Light
The light next to the fuel gage will come on briefly when
you are starting the engine.
This light comes on when the fuel tank is
low on fuel.
To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank. See Fuel on
page 5-5.

returns
to normal, the display will turn off and the
transmission shifting patterns will return
to normal.
Notice: If you keep driving your vehicle with the
transmission
TRANS FLUID HOT message
displayed, you can damage the transmission. This
could lead to costly repairs that may not be covered
under your warranty.
The following situations can cause the transmission to
operate at higher temperatures:
Towing a trailer
@ Hot outside air temperatures
Hauling a large or heavy load
Low transmission fluid level
High transmission fluid level
Restricted air flow to the radiator.
A temporary solution
to hotter transmission operating

to let the transmission cool down.
If the transmission is operated at higher temperatures
on a frequent basis, see Scheduled Maintenance
on page 6-5 for the proper transmission maintenance
intervals.

When the system activates, you may hear a noise or
feel a vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal. When
the STABILITY SYS ACTIVE message is on, you
should continue
to steer in the direction you want to go.
The system is designed
to help you in bad weather
or other difficult driving situations by making the most of
whatever road conditions will permit.
SERVICE STABILITY
If you ever see the SERVICE STABILITY message, it
means there may be a problem with your
StabiIitrak@system. If you see this message
try to reset
the system (stop; turn
off the engine; then start the
engine again). If the SERVICE STABILITY message still
comes on, it means there is a problem. You should
see your dealer for service. The vehicle is safe to drive,
however, you do not have the benefit of Stabilitrak@,
so reduce your speed and drive accordingly.
STABILITY SYS DISABLED
The STABILITY SYS DISABLED message will turn on
when you press the Stabilitrak@button, or when the
stability control has been automatically disabled. To limit
wheel spin and realize the full benefits of the stability
enhancement system, you should normally leave
Stabilitrak@on. However, you should turn Stabilitrak@off
if your vehicle gets stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow and you want to “rock”
your vehicle
to attempt to free it,
or if you are driving in extreme off-road conditions
and require more wheel spin. See If
You Are Stuck: In
Sand, Mud, Ice or
Snow on page 4-41. To turn the
Stabilitrak@system back on press the Stabilitrak@button
again. There are four conditions that can cause this
message
to appear. One condition is overheating, which
could occur
if Stabilitrak@activates continuously for an
extended period of time. The message will
also be
displayed
if the brake system warning light is on. See
Brake System Warning Light
on page 3-34. The
message could be displayed
if the stability system takes
longer than usual to complete its diagnostic checks
due to driving conditions. Also,
if an engine or vehicle
related problem has been detected, and the vehicle
needs service, the message will appear.
The message will turn off as soon as the conditions that
caused the message to be displayed are no longer
present.
TRACTION ACTIVE
When the traction control system has detected that any
of the vehicle’s wheels are slipping, the traction
control system will activate and this message will appear
on the DIC. See StabiIitrakO System
on page 4-9 for
more information.
