When the ignition is on, the fuel

 

gauge indicates about how much

 

fuel is left in the tank.

 

There is an arrow near the fuel

 

gauge pointing to the side of the

 

vehicle the fuel door is on.

 

When the indicator nears empty, the

 

low fuel light comes on. There still is

 

a little fuel left, but the vehicle

 

should be refueled soon.

Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with the fuel gauge:

.At the service station, the fuel pump shuts off before the gauge reads full.

.It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gauge indicated. For example, the gauge 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 gauge moves a little while turning a corner or speeding up.

.The gauge takes a few seconds to stabilize after the ignition is turned on, and goes back to empty when the ignition is turned off.
