Fuel Gage
United States
Canada
The fuel gage shows approximately how much fuel is in
the tank. It works only when the ignition is in ON.
Here are a few concerns some owners have had about
the fuel gage. All of these situations are normal and do
not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage.
D At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.
D The gage may change when you turn, stop or 
speed up.
Low Fuel Light
If the fuel level is low,
approximately one (3.8L) to
two gallons (7.57 L) of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank, a
light will come on until you
add fuel.
The light may begin to flash
as the fuel level gets lower.
It will also come on for a few seconds when you first
turn on the ignition as a check to show it’s working. 
If it doesn’t come on then, have it fixed.
Fuel Cap Indicator Light
This light will come on 
if the fuel cap has not 
been fully tightened, is 
missing or has been
improperly installed.
You should recheck your fuel cap to make sure it is 
on tight.
