Fuel level gauge

~1min read

This gauge shows the approximate fuel level in the tank. The gauge has a small margin of error.

For vehicles with a gasoline engine only

Avoid driving with a minimum amount of fuel in the tank. This may cause engine misfires and damage to the catalytic converter.

For vehicles with a diesel engine only

If the engine stops because the fuel runs out completely and then restarts, the malfunction indicator lamp and the Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) indicator will illuminate.

With the ignition on, the multi-information display between the speedometer and tachometer shows various information, symbols, and messages.

Some symbols and messages help you operate the vehicle. Other messages inform you of the vehicle's condition so you can avoid possible problems.

All symbols and text messages are divided into two types: general information messages and warning messages alerting the driver to a possible vehicle system malfunction.

You can select the language for text messages and customize certain settings using the multi-information display and the two buttons on the steering wheel.
