Exclamation GLE Fuel Level Warning

Hi all,

New here and hoping someone will be able to help;

I have a 2017MY GLE43 which I've had a for a month or so now, and I have noticed that when the fuel light comes on, there is no audible warning? Just pops up discreetly on the display - this isn't exactly an important issue it's just not like any of the vehicles I've previously owned (except the bike of course!) so it got me wondering.

Is there a setting somewhere that I can change this?

If not, no worries, just thought it would be worth an ask!

Thanks a lot.

Just happened for me last week.

Dash light turns on near the fuel level indicator needle. And a message on the MFD (or is it the COMAND screen?) asking if I want to search for a fuel station.

No audible warning that I recall. I believe reserve fuel is approx 10% of tank capacity which in the GLE SUV is around 2.5 gallons of reserve.

I am not aware of a setting to change this. For another reason I recently took a trip through all of the MFD and COMAND settings and this (fuel warning) doesn’t strike me as being an option.

Thanks for the fast response, I believe mine just appeared in the MFD screen only, this may be because I was in Apple CarPlay at the time, perhaps?

I too have just spent some time flicking through the settings on the MFD but can't see any warning settings anywhere, and all I seem to find on the main display is for the interior/exterior lighting options!

I have a 2016 and same thing occurs. No audible chime at all. Light comes on and I think it says "Low Fuel" (or something similar) in the MFD/Command screen in front of the steering wheel. I have to hit "OK" on the steering wheel to clear the message.
