When the ignition is on, your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left.
When you have less than 3.5 gallons (13.2 L) of fuel remaining, the DIC message LOW FUEL will be displayed and a chime will sound. You need to get more fuel right away.
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 gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up. |
| • | The tank is not necessarily empty when the gage reads empty. There is a reserve of about 1.5 gallons (5.6 L) in the tank. You should still get more fuel as soon as possible. |
