Fuel Gage
The fuel gage shows about how much fuel is in your fuel
tank. An arrow on the fuel gage indicates that the fuel
ller door is on the driver 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 the 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 does not go back to E or empty when you
turn off the ignition. United States
