Default low fuel light?

Does your car have a low fuel light? I was under the impression that my 97 EX didn't have one, but the other day the sun was shining into my cluster and I could see that I actually had a low fuel light. Im guessing the bulb for it doesn't work, because it should light up temporarily when I turn the key, yes?

Yes, you have a low fuel light. However, the low fuel light is not one of the lights in the cluster that illuminate when you turn the car on.

This is what a 6G Ex cluster looks like when the car is turned on.

yeah i was wondering the same thing about my 2000 hatch. Does it not light up period on US models? I've run that car damn near out of gas, well, actually out of gas and the light never comes on.

I think the low fuel light works Once or twice for every "new" owner of the car. I think mine worked twice in the first month i got mine, I unno, lol

It doesnt bother me but who doesnt want our little cars to have even that little bit of luxury, haha

Mine lights up. You guys probably just have **** bulbs in there. Pull the cluster and replace the bulb.

As I said before, yes, of course.

I have a '98 EX coupe and mine has worked fine since the day I got the car. Same with my previous car, a '97 EX coupe.

I don't remember about the DX hatches... but the CX hatches don't have a low fuel light.
