Can any Platinum owners confirm if the low fuel warning follows this pattern from the owners manual. Looking to verify the high end cluster follows this.

Thanks

Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the
distance to empty reaches 75 miles (120
km), 50 miles (80 km), 25 miles (40 km),
10 miles (20 km) and 0 miles (0 km) .
Variations:
Note: The low fuel warning and
distance-to-empty warning can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel econo

I don't get a low fuel warning until 50 miles to empty. In addition to warning message on left screen, the fuel remaining indication between E and the indicator turns orange.

I've been thinking about starting a thread with all the errors I've found in the owners manual, this would be one. I've never seen a high beem indicator with an A in the middle for auto high beams (pg 95). There is no Auto setting for the rear climate (pg 437). Camera button will only activate front camera views, not rear camera unless in reverse at which point front camera is not available (pg 208)...
 






Do you get additional warnings at lower level like 25 and 10 miles?
 






On my 2016 Sport, it comes on at 25miles, which I can click "ok" to close, again at 0miles and at that point you cannot clear it off the screen.
 






I am looking for how the high end cluster behaves which only the Platinum has.
 






I haven't run the tank down that far yet... I'll see if I can try this weekend and let you know. I'm at 59 miles to empty right now.
 






I think I found the answer I was looking for...basically wasn't happy with how the Edge alerts for low fuel (does it at 1/16th of a tank, or like 30 miles left) and wanted it to alert like the Explorer. Believe I found the setting for it. Thanks for confirming that it alerted that high. I have changed the setting and should be able to confirm if it alerts for lower mileage left as well. Thanks again.
