Its not in there.

Check your own owners manual and tell us all how many gallons of fuel remain
in the tank when the low fuel warning light comes on.

The original poster stated twice that it was not listed, but apparently
everyone wants to pontificate rather than actually look.

Here is the wording in my owner's manual about the low fuel warning: "This
light comes on when the fuel in the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as
it is convenient, preferably before the fuel gauge reaches E. There will be
a small reserve of fuel remaining in the tank when the fuel gauge needle
reached E."

Now tell me - how many gallons is a "small amount" and how many gallons is
"getting low"?

(Experience with this particular car indicates that "Getting low" is roughly
3.5 gallons. I don't know how many "small amount" is because I haven't been
willing to run it dry and find out.)
