UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 183 27. Fuel Gauge Shows level of fuel in tank when ignition switch is in the ON position. 28. Low Fuel Warning Light Glows when the pointer is between "E" and 1/8 indication mark (approximately 15% of tank volume) on the fuel gauge. When the fuel gauge pointer is on "E" (equivalent to Distance To Empty [DTE] = 0 on the overhead console if so equipped) there is reserve fuel capacity, which corresponds to approximately 8% of tank volume. This reserve capacity was put in place to prevent the likelihood of customers running out of fuel when operating at maximum load conditions in areas where there aren't many gas stations.(See page 137 for more information.) Ram fuel tank volumes are as follows: • 52 gallons - Standard Rear Tank • 22 gallons - Optional Mid Ship Tank 29. CRUISE Light This indicator lights when the electronic speed control system is turned on. ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK The clock and radio each use the display panel built into the radio. A digital readout shows the frequency and/or time in hours and minutes (depending on your radio model) whenever the ignition switch is in the "ON" or "ACC" position. When the ignition switch is in the "OFF" position, or when the radio frequency is being displayed, time keeping is accurately maintained. 4
