Fuel Gauge

Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when
your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.

Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is left
in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the
fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of
your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

The needle should move toward F when you
refuel your vehicle. If the needle points to E
after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle
needs service soon.

After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal:

•

It may take a short time for the needle to
reach full after leaving the gas station.
This is normal and depends upon the
slope of pavement at the gas station.

•

The fuel amount dispensed into the tank
is a little less or more than the gauge
indicated. This is normal and depends
upon the slope of pavement at the gas
station.

•

If the gas station nozzle shuts off before
the tank is full, try a different gas pump
nozzle.

Low Fuel Level Reminder

A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty reaches
50 mi (80 km) to empty for MyKey, and at
35 mi (60 km), 25 mi (40 km), 10 mi (20 km)
and 0 mi (0 km) for all vehicle keys.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge

Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator will be in the normal range. If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop your vehicle as soon as
safely possible, switch off the engine and let
the engine cool.

WARNING

Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap when the engine is running or hot.

INDICATORS

The following warning lamps and indicators
alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious.  Some lamps illuminate
