If the low fuel warning light illuminates or the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as possible.

Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on .

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 (
