For 1990-2009 cars

Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left, when the ignition is on.

When the indicator nears empty, the low fuel warning light will come on. You still have a little fuel left, but you should get more soon. See Low Fuel Warning Light for more information.

The arrow on the fuel gage points to the side of the vehicle with the fuel door.

Here are five things that some owners ask about. These are normal and do not indicate a problem with your fuel gage:

• | At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full.

• | It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated.

• | The indicator moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up.

• | The gage goes back to empty when you turn off the ignition.

• | The vehicle is driven or parked on a grade.
