Hi guys
Does anyone know how to turn the warning buzzer up and down (beeps when lights are left on, also when fuel is low). Mine is so quiet and cant even hear it. Was just wondering if there was a way? thanx Jason |

If you could change when it beeps(eg at 40kms left instead of 80) for a low fuel warning, i'd be interested.

Mine beeps at 80, 40 and 20. Strangely enough it doesnt beep at 0.
Twice I've had the car DTE to 0 and kept driving (while getting seriously religious praying for a petrol station). Both times I made it!! I actualy drove for about 8-10kms with a DTE reading of 0... it didnt go negative  :.The only time I ever ran out of fuel the DTE read 63kms... Funny, I no longer trust the DTE, I look at the guage itself, far more reliable.

You can safely run the car at 0 DTE for a bit. I cringe as I hate having to go past a quarter of a tank....

i think the dealer said you can still get 15-25km from 0 on the DTE.

I have got close ... but on a dedicated LPG system ... I REALLY don't want to run out of gas ... can't just syphon gas into a car on the side of the road really.
I get mine to beep on DTE 0 ... when the bloody fuel sender chucks a wobbly ... hasn't done it for a while now though. Mine beeps on 80, 60, 40 and 20 ... and on 0 too. I don't trust the guage or the DTE (had an issue where the guage would ready dead empty after I had filled the car with gas ... I go on km's travelled most of the time. I'll trust the gauge when I replace my tank senders eventually. On another note ... mine said I had a DTE of 700km ... even after having done 450km since I filled up ... YEAH RIGHT.

My DTE gauge reads 564 when the tanks full but doesn't even last 280km thru the city!
Highway isn't much better |
