    Low fuel indicator (fuel gauge flash / fuel remaining)

    Hello, does the mirage have a low fuel indicator? As in, does the fuel gauge flash or something is indicated? Would like to know, haven't gone below 2 blocks yet.

    and when the whole display thing starts flashing you still have a gallon and a half ish. I filled up right when it started flashing the other day and put 7.8 gallons in.

    When you have one bar left it will start flashing, when there's no bar left (it still flashes), you still have 4 liter or something

    Slow flash on one bar is 7 litres (correct me if I'm wrong) and flashes quickly one bar when 3 litres are left

    Nah, the flashing speed never changes. It just goes from the 1/8th bar flashing to the entire gauge flashing with the bar, to the entire gauge flashing WITHOUT the 8th bar.

    It would be dangerous to drive and record flashing bar .... but I'm on flashing right now, I indeed can sum it up:
    1. One bar left no flashing: around 10 liter left
    2. One bar left bar and stripe flashing: around 7 liter left
    3. No bar left, only stripes flashing: around 4 liter left
    4. All indicator lamps on: your engine stalled cause you ran out of gas, dummy!

    Thank you for all the info, yeah I tried it and it does start to flash, a lot better than just a red segment in a regular fuel gauge. The only thing I hate is once it starts flashing, even if it's only the one block, it won't give you a range estimate anymore.
