Low Fuel Warning

ℹ️ Informationalamber light
What it means

Your fuel level is low — typically triggers with 1–2 gallons remaining. Most vehicles can travel 30–60 miles after the light illuminates, but this varies significantly by vehicle and driving conditions.

What to do
  1. 1Fill up as soon as conveniently possible
  2. 2Running consistently low on fuel can damage the fuel pump — it uses fuel for cooling
  3. 3In cold weather, condensation in a near-empty tank can cause fuel line freeze
  4. 4Your exact remaining range is shown in the trip computer on most modern vehicles
