2-72 Service Vehicle Soon Light
This light will come on
briefly when you turn on
the ignition.
It will stay on, or come on and a chime will sound if it detects
a problem on the vehicle, such as a Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL) or an Automatic Light Control (ALC) malfunction.
If this happens, see your dealer as soon as possible.
Fuel Gage
United States CanadaYour fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left,
when the ignition is on. When the indicator nears empty, the
light will come on and you will hear a chime. You still have a
little fuel left, but you should get more soon.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None
of these show a problem with your fuel gage:

At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.

It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
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 indicator moves a little when you turn a corner
or speed up.

The gage goes back to empty when you turn off
the ignition.
