Gauges Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount. The needle returns to the bottom after you turn off the ignition. Check Fuel Cap Indicator (odometer/outside temperature message) If your fuel cap is loose or missing, a ''CHECK FUEL CAP'' message will appear in the odometer/outside temperature display. As soon as it is safely possible, turn the engine off and check that the fuel cap is installed. If it is, loosen the cap and tighten it 1 click. Although you can use the Select/Reset button to cycle the fuel cap warning off of the display, it will be displayed again each time the engine is started. It will take several days of normal driving for the vehicle to turn the warning off. If the vehicle on board diagnostic system continues to detect a problem, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate. If the MIL does not go off, have your dealer inspect the vehicle. For more information, see page 251 . Maintenance Minder Display The information display in the instrument panel shows you the engine oil life and maintenance service items when the ignition switch is in the ON (II) position. This information helps to keep you aware of the periodic maintenance your vehicle needs for continued troublefree driving. Refer to page 193 for more information. Avoid driving with an extremely low f uel level. Running out of f uel could cause the engine to misf ire, damaging the catalytic converter. 66
