Too Lazy to read the manual; 2 questions!!

1. On the stalk that controls the windshield wipers (bottom left stalk), there are two options that seem to be controlled by a sensor; the first counter clockwise click and the second. What is the difference between the two?

2. Once you see the fuel pump pic and the car on the main screen- how many gallons of gas do we have left? I ask because even when this screen comes on, the gas needle still has a some space before its pegged on the empty sign.

Thanks and please forgive me but today I want to use your knowledge instead of my legs.

Position 1 - Off Position
Position 2 (One Click clockwise) - Slow Intermittent (Sensor Controlled)
Position 3 (Two Clicks) - Fast Intermittent (Sensor Controlled)
Position 4 - Slow Continuous Wiping (Also my preferred bathroom motion...)
Position 5 - Fast Continuous Wiping (Not recommended as it causes chaffing)
Position 6 - Please see dealer for the installation of a new wiper stalk.....

I filled up the other night when the fuel light came on and it took 17.5 gallons. Capacity is 21.1 which means there was roughly 4 gallons left. Roughly makes sense because the computer was telling me I had about 40 miles left and i was in city like traffic burning 10 MPG.

There is also a reserve of 3.7 gallons. Not sure if this is on top of the 21.1 or not but i assume it is.

When the fuel pump pic showed up my 211 would be down to its last gallon, while the CLS still has about 2 gallons to go.

Just keeding The empty tank things is a major pita on all cars nowadays, they seem to be able to go for at least 60 miles (don't quote me!) and it's very annoying to pull off the highway and find you still had about 25% of your tank left...

I imagine because these cars are so fuel efficient.....they decided to give you a bit more buffer. I know that if the fuel light is on and I'm stuck in traffic I start to get nervous
