My thoughts exactly.

I let my Yeti drop into the red on the fuel gauge and saw the light come on, I kept driving expecting the flashing "Please Refuel" request in orange flashing on the MDF panel, but nothing apart from the needle getting nearer to empty. Our Octavia has the former warning which you could not ignore, why is it missing from the later model car?

Mine has the warning at start up, x miles left and the "bong" + the orange light but it doesn't have the old MFD "nag" thing.

I'm quite pleased it's gone to be honest.

I tend to trust the needle more than the MFD anyway.

I did 40 miles when it said 65 miles left and it still said 65 miles left when i started it up the next day!

Air powered cars of the future...

Do you really need a third visual cue to let you know it is time to refuel?

Not saying I am personally missing it, but "her Indoors" is terrible as refuelling and the Octavia makes sure she does. I can see a run out of petrol come and get me in the near future

Ah, I understand now.

I, too, have a wife who, despite two university degrees and a very high IQ simply CAN'T work out how to put fuel in the car......

Might be a glitch on the dash. The vw had a software update and that removed the please refuel. Some reset/update and it came back.

Over to the Yeti experts then, can this reset be done to put my mind at rest every time she goes any distance?

I noticed on Page 30 of the manual the following, so how do you get it to show, can anyone help ? The warning light comes on, if the fuel level is still below 10.5 litres. An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.The following text will be displayed in the information display: Please refuel! Range...km

I get the please refuel message on the MFD.

It has always been so on our 2010 model.

As far as I know it hasn't had a software update so maybe that has something to do with it still being there?

My wife has refuelled once!

And then she argued the price was wrong, untill they explained that was litres

I personally don't think there are enough warnings.

Roll on the 'syncing' of your cars fuel requirements with your iphone & facebook status.

You may laugh now..............

Wots an iphone?

Graham, in Wales it's called a Dai Phone!

Interesting tidbit. I've actually not had to do my first refuel yet, but I did have this warning on my previous vRS and found it a little annoying & well basically pointless, so I'll be glad if it has gone anyway.

Mine bongs at about 75miles. My A5 sends a message via the sat nav "You are low on fuel would you like directions to the nearest fuel station" I only said yes once it took me 12 miles to a garage that had been closed for about 5 years!

Mine is 2011 and i get the warning message.Happened once only, cause I dont wait for the fuel level to get that low.

Mine happens almost every tankful. I hate having to fill up if it has done less than 400 miles on a tank....... that's London congestion for you.

I only managed to get in 52.5 litres last time, with an indicated range of 25 miles. So it still had 7.5 litres in there, so should have been good for another 60 or more miles.

Definitely a software problem.

In the soft bit between the ears.

How many warnings does a person need?

I love warnings I really like leaving my seat belt off so the pitch of the bongs changes, I feel I'm bucking the system. Hmmm got me thinking do the other bongs change pitch if you leave them long enough. (oh by the way before all the puritans start moaning about the flagrant miss use of the seatbelt warning bong it's a joke I do not drive without my seat belt on.)

Could be a name for new folk band, 'Whistling Wiper and the Seat Belt Bongs'.

Lebanese or Jamaican?

And don't forget there is the cold weather bong, and the low battery bong
