depressing and holding the selector for one
second or more. Use this meter to measure
trip distances and to compute fuel
consumption.

Empty
If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-33 .
NOTE
•After refueling, it may require some time
for the indicator to stabilize. In addition,
the indicator may deviate while driving
on a slope or curve since the fuel moves
in the tank.

remaining fuel has more segments to
show the remaining fuel level in greater
detail.
