Instruments and Controls that the fuel filler door is on the driver side of the vehicle. The fuel gage works only when the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN. When the gage first indicates E or empty, there is still about 2 gallons ( 7.6 L) of fuel left, but more needs to be added right away. When the vehicle is low on fuel the low fuel warning light, located below the empty mark, comes on. Five things that do not indicate a problem with the fuel gage: 4-11 • The gage moves a little when you turn, stop or speed up. Safety Belt Reminders When the engine is started, a chime will sound for several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts, unless the driver safety belt is already buckled. • The gage does not go back to E or empty when you turn off the ignition. Engine Coolant Temperature Gage • At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before the gage reads F or full. • It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill it. • It takes the gage several minutes to read F or full after filling the vehicle with fuel. United States Canada This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the gage pointer moves into the red area, the engine is too hot. Pull off the road, stop the vehicle, and turn off the engine as soon as possible. See Engine Overheating on page 9-23. The safety belt light will also flash until the driver belt is buckled. If the driver belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light comes on. This light is located on the center of the instrument panel, next to the audio system. When the key is turned to ON/RUN or START, this light comes on as a reminder for the right front passenger to fasten their safety belt.
