2 ways that I know of

1. Just hit the button to change the info. Hit it once and it will go back to what you had it set to
2. Get some gas

Yeah you have to hit the enter button next to the info button toi reset the low fuel mileage. It will still display the fuel low message but won't get on your nerves

Pushing the info button just brings you back to the other display items.
Once it gets that low it appears to no longer estimate the remaining miles left, and will only say " low fuel range " or " fuel range low " etc.
just get to a gas station within 30 or 40 miles
I just had mine cry to me about low fuel today wen I drove home during lunch, so I filled up on the way back to work and the car is happy again

It'll just make the message go away. If you want to see how many miles you have left, there is a way to do it - before you shut the car off, make sure you have it set to display the fuel range (should say "Fuel Range Low")...when you turn the car back on the next time, it should display the exact mileage for a second or two before it goes back to "Fuel Range Low".

yup, thats the only 3 ways. It is stupid that it comes on at like 40 miles left. I drove almost all the way home from the jersey shore with the light on, since I only use Shell, or Sunoco 94 and I couldn't get it anywhere. It would have been nice to be able to see if i NEEDED gas now instead of that message

Still nice to have when you have your sunglasses on and you cant see the red line on the gas gauge.

Low Fuel range thingy comes on at like 50mi... you can run it down to 25 miles and then it will come up and beep at you and stay on. But yeah... best way to clear it.... get some gas... shees....
