Pontiac G8 manual Oil Pressure Gage, Fuel Gage

4-22 Instruments and Controls

Oil Pressure Gage

The gage shows the engine oil pressure.

It is located in the center of the instrument panel.

{CAUTION

Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If you do, your engine can become so hot that it catches fire. You or others could be burned. Check your oil as soon as possible and have your vehicle serviced.

Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance may damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil.

Fuel Gage

The fuel gage shows about how much fuel you have left, when the ignition is on.

When the indicator nears empty, the low fuel warning light will come

on and along with a chime. There is still a little fuel left, but you should refuel soon.

Here are four things that some owners ask about. These are normal and do not indicate 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.

•The indicator moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up.

•The gage will continue to show the remaining fuel when the ignition is turned off.
