Afternoon,

The arrow on the petrol guage is only on Ford and affiliated vehicles due to the fact it has been trademarked. This is not on any other vehicles.

On the pre facelifts there's an arrow at the top of the digital petrol gauge, I'm guessing that's it? I always wondered what that arrow meant!




Pointin to the direction of the filler ?




I'm guessing but yeah. I can't see any other reason for that arrow being there. When I first got the car I thought the arrow would move down as the petrol dropped, but it didn't lol.

cool

is annoyin in hire cars when u dont know what side its on..

Even more embarrassin.. i went to fill one up, a toyota i think, went to fill up was on the right side, but cudnt see how to get that damn thing open, so was playin around with it, had to get the manual out, was there for ages. Looked well dodgy as well, me there lookin about 15 driving this people carrier, prob thought ui had robbed it..

Eventually some guy came over an opened it, was hidden down on the floor :S

ha ha ha - I've started a hot topic.

The arrow/triangle points to the cap. The facelift certainly has this and so does the focus I drove the other day (cap on right).

I'll check the 306 when Tamara gets back but now I think of it, I always wondered what the triangle was for!
