Low fuel not on M.I.D

Hey just a quick question. I have a 2006 Acura tl MT non navi. when my car indicates it has low fuel, it only shows a little orange dot. Isn't it suppose to show a fuel pump on the MID as well, like the manual shows? Thanks for any answers .

Yes, it should show a fuel pump and it says something like: LOW FUEL.

Here's the 04 OM chapter on the MID. Nothing about low fuel symbol. Are you sure it's actually listed? Maybe you confused it with the low washer fluid symbol for Canadian models?

When I get home I'll take a picture of the manual, where it shows a fuel pump on the MID

On my 08 TL-s it shows the low fuel on the MID. But I think it's rather annoying. I rather just have only the orange dot. Is there a way to disable it on the MID?

I'm guessing there is since it won't show on my car when it's suppose to

it will only give such a warning on the 07-08 TL models.

I wish the orange dot dimmed with the rest of the dash lights. That damn thing scared the #@!@#%* out of me one night when it came on while cruising down the highway! (I drive with the dash lights fully dimmed at night).

Good to know because obviously my '05 doesn't do this. But I'm glad it just has the orange dot and not the fuel pump graphic.

Just to clarify, I have an 07 TL-S.
After reading a bit more into this, I think the icon is only on 07 / 08 models.
