Check Gages Light When the indicator nears E (EMPTY), you still have a little fuel left, but you should get more soon. This light will come on briefly when you are starting the engine.

When the ignition is on, your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left.. For your fuel tank capacity, see "Capacities and Specifications'' inthe Index. UNLEADED FUEL ONLY 2-74
