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 filler door is on the driver's side
of your vehicle. The fuel gage works only when the ignition switch is ON. When the
gage first 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 five 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 fill 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 fill it. |
| • | It takes the gage several minutes to read F or full after filling 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. |
