Low fuel indicator
A yellow light that shows the fuel level is low.
Dashboard symbols vary by manufacturer. The vehicle's owner's manual or a qualified mechanic can say what a light means for a particular vehicle.
How to read it
The symbol is the front view of a fuel pump, as Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations describe it, and UN Regulation No. 121 sets the fuel level tell-tale as yellow. Toyota says the light indicates low fuel level.
Also searched as: fuel light, gas light.
Look-alikes
The same fuel pump appears on the fuel gauge itself, often with a small arrow beside it that shows which side the fuel filler door is on.
