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:
At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
GAL FUEL USED on the DIC does not correspond
exactly to the amount of fuel remaining as shown
on the fuel gage.
The gage may change when you turn, stop quickly
or accelerate quickly.
Fuel Data Display (Digital
Cluster
Only)
E
The fuel data display tells
you all you about the fuel
economy and how far
you can travel with the fuel
remaining.
The average fuel economy (AVG) display shows the
average miles per
U.S.
gallon.
To reset the average fuel economy, press the INFO
button until the MPG AVG is displayed on the DIC.
Press and hold the INFO RESET button until both the
fuel data display and DIC display reads
0.0.
The RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks
you can travel with the fuel that is in the tank. The
computer does not know what driving conditions will be
like for the rest of your trip,
so
the range is estimated
based on the recent fuel economy. Therefore, the range
reading may change as your driving habits change.
Going from city
to
highway driving may increase
the range reading.
The FUEL LEVEL
LOW message will be displayed in
the Driver lnformation Center (DIC) and a chime
will sound when there is approximately
3
gallons
(1 1.4
L)
of fuel remaining.
If
the range display in the DIC shows
LO,
you should
stop for fuel as soon as possible. This means that
you have less than approximately
1.2
gallons
(4.7
L)
of
fuel remaining.
On the analog cluster, fuel data can be obtained by
pressing the
INFO
button. See
