Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you
have left when the ignition
is on.
When the needle approaches the red zone, RESERVE
FUEL will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
display. When the needle approaches the “E,” LOW FUEL
will appear on the display. At this time, you still have a
little fuel left, but you should get more soon.
Press RESET to acknowledge a DIC message(s). Pressing
RESET will also turn off a DIC message but the LOW
FUEL message will come on again in 10 minutes if you
have not added fuel to the vehicle.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. All
these things are normal and do not indicate that anything
is wrong with the fuel gage.
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads F (full).
It takes more (or less) fuel to fill up than the gage
reads. For example, the gage reads half full, but it took
more (or less) than half of the tank’s capacity to fit it.
The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking
or speeding up.
The gage may not indicate E (empty) when the
ignition is turned off.
The gage reading may change slightly within the
first several minutes after starting the vehicle.
You can use the Driver Information Center (DIC) to
display more detailed fuel information. Each time you
press FUEL, one of the following will appear in the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
AVERAGE: The fuel economy calculated for the
current tank of fuel, or since you last reset the display.
INST: The fuel economy calculated for your current
driving conditions.
RANGE: The distance you can drive before refueling.
BLANK: The fuel gage is displayed alone.
You should reset the fuel information display every time
you refuel. To reset the display, press FUEL until
AVERAGE appears. Then, press RESET on the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
