Your fuel gage is located on the right side of your instrument panel cluster.

When the ignition is on, your fuel gage lets you know about how much fuel you have left. When the gage first shows empty, you'll still have a little fuel left, but you should get more fuel soon.

If your vehicle has dual fuel tanks, the reading on the gage is the total fuel left in both tanks.

Here are four concerns of some operators. None of these shows a problem with your fuel gage:

    • The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up.
    • The gage does not go back to empty when you turn off the ignition.
    • At the gas station, the pump shuts off before the gage reads full.
    • It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated.
