Fuel 
Gage 
Your fuel gage tells you 
about  how  much fuel 
you  have left, when the 
ignition is on. 
Here  are  some  things  that  owners  ask  about.  None of 
these  show  a  problem  with  your 
fuel 
gage: 
0 
At the service  station,  the  gas  pump  shuts 
off 
before 
the gage  reads 
FULL 
(F).

It 
takes  a 
little 
more  or less 
fuel 
to 
fill 
up  than  the 
gage  indicated. For example,  the gage 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 gage moves  a little when  you  turn  a  corner  or 
speed  up or make  a  hard  stop. 
The tank is not  necessarily  empty  when the pointer 
is  over the 
EMPTY 
(E) 
mark.  There  may be 
approximately 
1.5 
gallons 
(5.6 
L) 
of reserve fuel 
in  the  tank. You  still have  a little 
fuel, 
but  will 
need  more  soon.
