  For my car, the empty tank alert will come off when I still have like got 10L of petrol left, which is enough for another 160KM for my car. My car's tank is 50L, why the empty tank alert when there is still like 10L left?

  Just a reminder.

  You don't have to fill up immediately, just remember to do it in the next few days.

  The alert is more for other countries, where the next gas station is xx miles away.

  It's more of a low fuel warning than an empty tank indicator. Besides, a warning light that alerts you to an empty tank would be completely useless as you would not have any fuel to drive to a petrol station to fill up.

  That will give time to go to the nearest petrol station.
