For more information see Fuel Gage on page 3-40. • At the service station, the fuel pump shuts off before the gage reads 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 a little more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill the tank. This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel. When you add fuel the light should go off. If it does not, have your vehicle serviced. A "Fuel Level LOW" message also appears in the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Fuel Gage on page 3-40 for more information. • The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up. • The gage takes a few seconds to stabilize after the ignition is turned on, and will go back to empty when you turn the ignition off. For your fuel tank capacity, see Capacities and Specifications on page 5-103. 3-41
