So, when I'm low on gas I get a little "ping" and a little fuel pump lights up on my dashboard. When I'm low on windshield washer fluid I get a chime, a "Low washer fluid" notice and a picture of a w/shield wiper on my EVIC and another display in my odometer that reads"LOWASH" also, the darn evic does this everytime I start the engine until I hit the button! Shouldn't being low on fuel trigger more alerts than being low on washer fluid? |

Being low on fuel, running out means you pull over... Being low on washer fluid and you run out could mean catastrophe depending on conditions and speed... Just my $.02.... However I do agree that being low on fuel should be equally as important though... Anyone happen to know the estimated KMs or Miles left once the low fuel light has come on? |

i was driving back to school one night, very dark, just at 32 degrees. There was a very slight drizzle which began to freeze to my windshield. The only thing to keep it from staying frozen was my wiper fluid....I'd say it's important. Just go buy some. I top off on wiper fluid almost as much as I do on gas; I check it all the time. |

I think it's 15 according to the EVIC. Of course, that "15 miles remaining" ends up being more like 50 realistically, it counts down to zero and will stay there for a long time running on the extra gallon or two. But I agree as well. If they can make the evic alert you about low fuel, it could put a little notice on the EVIC. Then again, the EVIC does have a miles-to-empty display, does that count? |

usually when my gas up light comes on it means I have about 2.5 gallons left...so depending on how many miles your getting to the gallon you should know approximately how many miles you got left before your fuming in 2 ways...mad and gas |

There's a reason they're called "idiot" lights. |

My fuel alarm went off with the EVIC showing 42 miles but that is on a CRD so the 2.5 gals is probably the standard. I know the EVIC isn't perfectly accurate though and I could have driven much further than 42 miles. Not wise to run out of fuel on a diesel though. |

Actually, I think that low washer chime and display is anoying. I don't know if you guys are like me but I check my fluids all of the time specially the washer fliud. I keep an extra full bottle with me at all times. I hate a dirty window, more so in the winter time. I really do not know if my low fule light actually works because I have never seen it light up . |

The first time that low wiper fluid chime came at me I thought for sure something was about to blow up. I mean, THAT's a chime that gets your attention. After I finally figured out what it was I started laughing. Wow! I didn't realize that low washer fluid was quite that important. |
