Is this done using the set of DIP switches at the back of the
instrument cluster? If yes, then do these switches also control the
level at which the "out of fuel" indicator on the auto-check system
will be displayed? Mine pops up at above 1/3 tank left. The
consumption figures and raneg left and fuel level gauge work perfectly
fine.
