C55 Gas gauge and reserve light

Is it me or the gas gauge is so small and off to the right as well the light is very small that I have gotten to reserve 2 times and have no noticed, is there an audible indicator or other dash (center display) that will come on?

Thanks

Yeah, that's happened to me a couple of times already. In my C32, once the gas would hit reserve, i would get a "malfunction" warning in the center screen. This would always let me know if i was low on gas.

Actually I think there is a warning which will appear when you're VERY low on fuel (once you've gone for awhile on reserve)....

I miss that malfunction that would come up and say "visit fueling station" on my C230 as well.

This is very stupid, on low fuel my Porsche would produce a beep and as well the reserve light is very large, I guess this is the way it is.

I love the dash notice on the C32 telling me to visit the gas station. However, I hate how many miles it normally shows I have left once that light comes on. Don't wait when the light comes on, on my C32 it is VERY low once it comes on, especially the way I drive.
