Do not treat the remaining range as a challenge. Use the warning as a prompt to refuel at the next sensible opportunity.
The display is an estimate
Remaining range changes with speed, temperature, gradients and driving style. It can fall faster than expected.
Running out is more than embarrassing
Stopping without fuel can leave you somewhere dangerous and may require recovery. Some fuel systems also dislike being run completely dry.
Learn your own car's habits
After a few fills you will know roughly when the warning appears. Refuelling before the car is desperate removes needless stress.
Estimate annual mileage honestly when buying insurance. A first year often involves more driving than expected once the freedom of having a car sinks in.
