Default mycolor question

those of you that have mycolor and the IUP, does your gas gauge turn red when you run low on fuel? its my understanding from reading the manual that it is supposed to, however, mine does not.

I haven't experienced low fuel yet....I keep it at least 3/4 full.
Are your lights on? The MyColor feature will not work unless your parking/headlights are on.

I have MyColor and I keep it Ice Blue (I just like that shade) and I have been low on gas many times. I like the fact that you get a notification at 50 miles to empty and it keeps reminding you after you hit reset. Or you can just leave the reminder on and it will count down for you. I haven't noticed the gas gauge changing to red but I'll keep my eyes open for that one. I am at 1/2 a tank now.

When you are about 7-10 miles from empty, the gauge will turn red as long as the lights are on. I know it sounds bad, but I have see the fuel gauge turn red.

i usually get gas right after it tells me i am low, so I do not know

Maybe it only turns red when your lights are on?
