Interesting you read that much into my topic of discussion.

Nope, no damage, no worries.

Our HHR's do have an warning light when the fuel level becomes to a low level.

Part of my Moderator duties is to bring discussion to the forum. Thats what I did.

Like that Saturday Night Live skit with Mike Myers..here's a topic now talk amongst yourselves.

It's good to facilitate discussion.

So here's a question...Aside from the warning light (?) and message on the DIC about low fuel range, is there also a chime or alarm of some sorts that sounds...not near my manual to check it out...

Every North American vehicle I had had both. My Mazda had only a light, no auditory warning...I hated that...not that I let the fuel get that low that often.

By the time I hunted and pecked out my post , two others had come in.
Still was a strange querry even just to start a thread discussion.
Even w/dash lights you can run out of fuel, just need to be too far from source.

Yes, there is a chime. When you get down to about 30 miles your DIC changes from miles to empty to fuel low. If you continue on much farther you get a chime from time to time to remind you. I found that out on the way to Vegas last week!
