First a hello to everyone, i am new to this forum as i just got a c3 2003. Very satisfied with it so far(for the last 15 days only).

I didn't get a user manual with it though, and i googled but couldn't find an answer to this.

The car measures the gas it has in it by bars, i think it has 6 of them in total, and an orange light for Reserve fuel.
How much gas do i have in it when the last BAR turns on, and how much do i have left when Reserve light turns on?

Thank you in forward for answering.

Hi ivanbass1

8 litres are left with the last segment lit,

You probably have 4 litres left when you get just the warning light and no segment, but this can be changed in the onboard software by anyone with a lexia box, a laptop and time to tinker.
