See DIC Warningsand Messages on page 3-73 for more information.Here are a few concerns some owners have had aboutthe fuel gage. All of these situations are normal anddo not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage:• At the gas station the gas pump shuts off beforethe gage reads full.• The gage may change when you turn, stop quicklyor accelerate quickly.• It takes a little more or less fuel to fill the tank thanthe gage indicated. For example, the gage mayhave indicated that the tank was half full, butit actually took a little more or less than half thetank’s capacity to fill the tank.Driver Information Center (DIC)The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you thestatus of many of your vehicle’s systems.
