When Driving

Fuel Gauge

~1min read

The fuel gauge shows approximately how much fuel is remaining in the tank when the ignition is switched ON. We recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.




If the fuel level is low, and
turn an amber color. Refuel as soon as possible.


Refer to Taking Action.

NOTE

  • After refueling, it may require some time for the indicator to stabilize. In addition, the indicator may deviate while driving on a slope or curve since the fuel moves in the tank.
  • The display indicating a quarter or less remaining fuel has more segments to show the remaining fuel level in greater detail.
  • The direction of the arrow indicates
    that the fuel-filler lid is on the left side of the vehicle.
