An arrow on the fuel gauge indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on. If the fuel supply gets low, the FUEL LEVEL LOW message appears in the Driver Information Center and a single chime sounds. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4 ‑ 62 for more information. Here are a few situations that may occur with the fuel gauge. All of these situations are normal and do not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gauge: . Driver Information Center (DIC) The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the status of many of your vehicle's systems. The DIC is also used to display warning/status messages. All messages will appear in the DIC display located at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster, below the tachometer and speedometer. The DIC buttons are located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel. The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short delay, the DIC will display the information that was last displayed before the engine was turned off. The top line of the DIC display shows the vehicle system information and the warning/status messages. The bottom line of the DIC display shows the odometer on the left side. The bottom line of the DIC display also shows a digital speedometer on the right side. If a problem is detected, a warning message will appear on the display. Be sure to take any message that appears on the display seriously and remember that clearing the message will only make the message disappear, not correct the problem. At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before the gauge reads full. The gauge may change when the vehicle is turning, stops quickly or accelerates quickly. It takes a little more or less fuel to fill the tank than the gauge indicated. For example, the gauge may have indicated that the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill the tank. . . 4-57
