Fuel Gauge When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the pointer will show the level of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. 2. Charging System Light This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. The light should come on briefly when the ignition is first turned ON and remain on briefly as a bulb check.
