Service Vehicle Soon Light For vehicles with this light, it will come on if a condition exists that may require the vehicle to be taken in for service. 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 pump shuts off before the gage reads 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 fill it. If the light comes on, see your dealer/retailer for service as soon as possible. • The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking or accelerating. • The gage may not indicate empty when the ignition is turned off. Fuel Gage The fuel gage indicates about how much fuel is left in the fuel tank when the ignition is on. Low Fuel Warning Light Your vehicle may have a low fuel light. It is a circle located on the fuel gage and will come on and a chime will sound periodically when the vehicle is low on fuel. The light will go off when fuel is added to the fuel tank. It will also come on for a few seconds when the ignition is turned on as a check to indicate it is working. If it does not come on then, have it fixed. When the indicator nears empty, there is still a little fuel left, but you should get more fuel soon. For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC), a LOW FUEL message will appear. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-58 for more information. 3-48
