fuel tank capacity PONTIAC VIBE 2004 Owners Manual

Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage shows about how much fuel is in your
tank. There is an arrow on the fuel gage that indicates
that the fuel ®ller door is on the left side of your
vehicle. The fuel gage works only when the ignition
switch is ON. When the gage ®rst indicates E or empty,
you still have a little fuel left, about 1 or 2 gallons
(3.8 L or 7.6 L), but you need to get more right away.
When your vehicle is low on fuel the low fuel warning
light, located below the empty mark, will also come on to
remind you to add fuel.Here are ®ve things some owners ask about. None of
these show a problem with your fuel gage.
·At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before
the gage reads F or full.
·It takes a little more or less fuel to ®ll up than the
gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took
more or less than half the tank's capacity to ®ll it.
·It takes the gage several minutes to read F or full
after ®lling the vehicle with fuel.
·The gage moves a little when you turn, stop or
speed up.
·The gage doesn't go back to E or empty when you
turn off the ignition. United StatesCanada
