Low Fuel Warning Light

I ran my gas tank down to the point where the computer said I only had twenty miles to go, but my warning light did not come on, nor did I get a system warning like I should have.

Anyone else see this problem?

My light comes on around 25-27 miles left.

Do you know if it's a float device inside the tank or a sensor?

There are two floats inside the tank.

By the time I get the 'bing' and the low fuel notice in the display, the low fuel light is definitely on. If yours is not coming on then I would have the dealer check it. Maybe the lamp is out.
