Re: Low fuel light
The light comes on when there is 8-10L of fuel left in the tank.

Re: Low fuel light

Re: Low fuel light
It changes with each car mate 
The only way you can find out is to run the fuel down. But then you run a chance of picking up sh*t from the bottom of he tank.

Re: Low fuel light
When you're well below the empty line, try park it on sloped surface to the right.
Or park it with the left wheels up the road kerb, this should triggers the light.

Re: Low fuel light
^ I took this risk too lol. Wednesday night after work had fuel light on leaving work (70km) drive home and made it. Filled up at bp 5km from home Thursday morning and put 55.15L of fuel into the tank when the bowser clicked itself off. Got 610km from a tank. Epic economy.
