2008 Chevrolet Corvette Owner's Manual - Page 188

Fuel Gage Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left when the engine is on. Here are five 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 the full symbol. • 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 the tank is empty when the ignition is turned off. When the needle approaches the low fuel symbol, a chime will sound and LOW FUEL will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. At this time, you still have a little fuel left, but you should get more soon. Press the RESET button to acknowledge a DIC message(s). Pressing the RESET button 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. • The gage reading may change slightly within the first several minutes after starting the vehicle. See DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-50 for more information. 3-48
