Fuel Low Warning?

My last few cars have had an audible low fuel warning, and I've been spoiled by them. As near as I can tell, my new G35 doesn't (just a wimpy small orange light). Am I missing something?

The light is all you get bro, unless you have Navi. When fuel gets low, the navi screan goes red and beebs at you, and will find a gas station for you.

Re: Fuel Low Warning?

Isn't there a way to wire something for an audio warning? I would want something like saying "Fuel Low" like in the F-22 jets. It's like a girl voice. I'll figure it out! [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks - Joey Avino

Nothing without the Navi system, although mine has never beeped at me either.

You know, I somehow always manage to figure out that I'm low on gas and need to fill up without the aid of an idiot beeper. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Fuel Low Warning?

Thanks for bringing this up. I think its my height (5'8") or the way I sit in the seat. But d*mn if I dont alway just make it to the gas station because I cant see that light through my steering wheel. Kinda nerve-racking.

Re: Fuel Low Warning?

I personally know when I am running low by reseting my trip odo. every tie I fill up. But the nav helps too.

Yes it beebs. It's the same beep that you get when you leave a door open/trunk open, or it's time for oil/filter, tire rotation.

Re: Fuel Low Warning?

How low before it beeps? I took it until I had 8 miles left but got no beep.

I've forgotten the mileage left, but when the screan goes to the red warning it beeps (same as when yu leave a door open)

Re: Fuel Low Warning?

My navi doesn't beep about any of those warnings either. Just display on the screen.
