Fuel gauge

Figure 1. Type A
OMQ4A035109
Figure 2. Type B
OMQ4A035110

This gauge displays the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.

TIP

  • More information about the fuel tank can be found in Recommended lubricants and capacities.

  • The fuel gauge has a low fuel warning light that appears when the fuel tank is nearly empty.

  • On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate and the low fuel warning light may come on earlier than usual due to the movement of fuel in the tank.

  • More than 6 liters of fuel should be added to the vehicle for the fuel gauge to increase.

WARNING

Fuel gauge

  • Running out of fuel can put the vehicle occupants in danger.

    You must stop and obtain additional fuel as soon as possible if the warning light illuminates or when the gauge indicator comes close to the “E” (Empty) level.

NOTE

  • Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, which could damage the catalytic converter.

  • If the vehicle is not shifted to P (Park) or N (Neutral) when refueling, the amount of fuel and distance to empty may appear abnormally because fueling may not be recognized.
