Fuel light doesn’t alert me anymore at 50 miles left?
When I purchased my 2020 RDX the ¨low fuel¨ light used to come on and alert me. For some reason it doesn’t now and it’ll only come on around 20-25 miles. Is there a reason it doesn’t do it at 50 miles anymore? Has anyone else experienced this same problem lately?

It is roughly based on the amount of fuel left in the tank....and it calculates the remaining miles left based on the MPG you are receiving.

If you are driving on the highway and getting 25 MPG, then that 2.4 gallons of fuel will get you 25*2.4 or 60 miles further.
If you are driving in stop & go traffic, uphill, on a winter day, and only getting 15 MPG then that 2.4 gallons of fuel will get you 15*2.4 or 36 miles further.
So before bringing your RDX to report that the low fuel indicator has a problem, please verify that your fuel economy has not dropped from it's previous value.
I suppose also that if the fuel tank has been damaged on a curb or rock, that the fuel it contains when filled is not the original 17.1 gallon capacity.
