Is there a low fuel light indicator?

[p1tse]

I was wandering if there is a low fuel light indicator ie when you're running out of fuel?

I don't tend to run it low, but was wandering for reference and if so how many litres is generally left in it?

 

[sheeraz19823]

yes

 

[sheeraz19823]

Not sure how many litres left before it comes on though

 

[dc55_11]

Yes, usually about 5-6 litres left

Yup, but I used to just fill up after covering 270ish miles.

270?? im nearly empty and at 190 lol

Thanks.
Unfortunately my short range driving compared to your usual % of motorway usage, I don't think I'll see 270 miles

Pre work commute I saw 100 miles in first quarter tank but soon dropped when stuck in commuter stop start traffic

In intrigued to see where the low light indicator is lol as just gone passed last quarter lol

The top half lasts longer than the bottom half, so you'll be surprised.

My record is 500km at the middle mark .
After that it drops quicker though

Just lend the car to my missus, guaranteed to come back with the fuel light on...

It also has a dial which twists to adjust the dash light brightness. Not a lot of people know that

It's the odometer reset button, simply turn right to brighten.

 

[sheeraz19823]

Didnt know that!!

Noobs

My record is about 40 miles with light on. Was when i was driving it home from purchase.
The fuel gauge caught me out, thought it had plenty, then started dropping rapidly.

They are quite sensitive too. And not exactly the best. But its not like i run mine that low a lot anyway.

I can get 380-400 miles from a tank! And I commute 18 miles per day to work and back with mixed roads.

Mine is 360 to 380 every tank before light comes on and 45lt goes in.

my fuel light works when it wants! Some times it works with 1 dot above the red and other times it doesn't come on at all as I'm sad to say I've ran out before And the fuel light didn't come on,
