When the ignition is on, the fuel gage on the right tells you about how much fuel you have left in your tank.

When the indicator says Empty, you still have a little fuel left, but you should get more right away. The LOW FUEL message will display on message center and a chime will sound prior to the fuel gage going to Empty.

Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with your fuel gage:

    • At the service station, the fuel pump shuts off before the gage reads full.
    • The gage moves a little when you turn, stop or speed up.
    • The gage takes a few seconds to stabilize after the ignition is turned on.
    • The gage reads Empty when you first turn the ignition on. Then, after about 3 seconds, it displays the proper fuel level.
