I recently purchased a 2010 Santa Fe and I never see a low fuel indicator light.. I have ran the fuel down to near zero and never see a indicator for low fuel. Can anyone help me?
Just curious -- did you fill it when you were at the "near zero" point, and if so, how much were you able to get in?I recently purchased a 2010 Santa Fe and I never see a low fuel indicator light.. I have ran the fuel down to near zero and never see a indicator for low fuel. Can anyone help me?
I put in 14.866 gallons when I fueled up. Should I be able to see a warning light when I turn on the ignition and all of the indicator lights turn on?Just curious -- did you fill it when you were at the "near zero" point, and if so, how much were you able to get in?
The low fuel light is one of the few that doesn't test at key-on.I put in 14.866 gallons when I fueled up. Should I be able to see a warning light when I turn on the ignition and all of the indicator lights turn on?
Actually the new Santa Fe is 19.8 gallon tank so he still had almost 6 gallons left.It simply means you didn't get to the bottom yet. Your tank holds 18 gallons. Why don't you test it, find out? Carry a can of gas with you and run it till it's dry.
My low fuel light comes on when I have just under 3 gallons remaining in the tank (as most vehicles). According to the manual and hyundai service center the tank holds approx 17.9 gallons. He said the 19 gallon tank was erroneous information on many auto review sites which carried over to many readers thinking this to be FACT. It seems that if you just put about ten more miles on-your low fuel level light would have come on( since you added just under 15 gallons).

Actually, the owners manual says 17.96 gallons.... to split hairs.Actually the new Santa Fe is 19.8 gallon tank so he still had almost 6 gallons left.
I stand corrected! LOLActually, the owners manual says 17.96 gallons.... to split hairs.
I completely agree! It's always good to fill-up when you get to approx. 1/4 tank-lessens the possibility of "crud" circulating or possible damage to catalytic convertor. I do the same-I did, however want to find out when the low fuel light came on and if it worked. I'll probably never see the light again as I will always fill up when I reach 1/4 tank, which is good advice. Thanks, TedrikMy low fuel warning light has never been on. No idea if it works. But I don't need it. I have a fuel gage. When it gets down to around 1/4, I fill up. :whistling:
I have owned my 2008 santa fe for 18months.....low fuel light came on for the first time this weekend (dh was driving prior....i never let it get that low).....i immediately drove about a couple of miles to the gas station.....filled up just short of 16 gallons.....so if the light comes on at just below 3 gallons (i have not confirmed this info), then my santa fe can hold approximately just below 19 gallons.My low fuel light comes on when I have just under 3 gallons remaining in the tank (as most vehicles).

It could very well be that you have a 19 gallon tank (2008?). I have a 2010 which has the 17.96 gallon tank. The low fuel light is approximate with some variables/going uphill/downhill etc. when reaching APPROXIMATELY 3 gallons remaining.I have owned my 2008 santa fe for 18months.....low fuel light came on for the first time this weekend (dh was driving prior....i never let it get that low).....i immediately drove about a couple of miles to the gas station.....filled up just short of 16 gallons.....so if the light comes on at just below 3 gallons (i have not confirmed this info), then my santa fe can hold approximately just below 19 gallons.
If you push the reset button where it displays how many km/litre, there should be a Range of how many KM or Miles you can travel with the remaining fuel in your tank. I hope that helps.I recently purchased a 2010 Santa Fe and I never see a low fuel indicator light.. I have ran the fuel down to near zero and never see a indicator for low fuel. Can anyone help me?

If you think that's bad, you should drive a P38 Range Rover ('95 - '02). As soon as the gauge hits 1/8, the trip computer shows 'RANGE LESS THAN 50 MILES - PLEASE REFUEL'. Now that's unhelpful. :grin:Actually, it does not help because once the low fuel light comes on, the display switches to all dashes because they don't want you to know or something. At least that's the way it works on our Veracruz. On my 2008 Santy, I've never had the fuel light come on, even when the indicator is pretty much on empty. The most fuel I've put in is 16.4 gal. I have no idea if the low fuel light works or what my range would be if it were to come on or how much my tank holds. Thanks Hyundai, for protecting us from ourselves!
