Sat Nav and low fuel

I was using the Sat nav yesterday when my low fuel light came on showing that i had 40 miles left in the tank.

the sat nav screen then went to a black screen and a message appeared saying "low fuel etc, the screen will now show all fuel garages in your area" and then went back to the screen and then this showed all the fuel garages that were local to me and with the relative icons to show if they were Esso, BP, Shell etc..great help

I've not seen this on mine.

Is it something that needs setting up?

I've never changed any settings on mine I just enter the postcode or street name etc.

This is a setting - Not sure what the setting is 'as norm' but I have definitely seen this as a setting (somewhere)

I have just had a look at my Sat Nav and there is an option that says 'display petrol stations' which mine is highlighted in blue (you can turn this off by touch to white) this option is under 'low fuel warning' i found it like this:

Show map, then touch Nav menu, then touch click more, and this will go to Nav set up then touch user settings and scroll down to display petrol stations under low fuel warning and touch to highlight blue.

Thanks Cutter, I will have a look at mine.
Nearly 12 months in and still finding out new things.

Yes me too got mine Dec 9th..

12,000 under my belt and first time I've run it to the low fuel light was at the weekend. Wasn't running the sat nav but wasn't much chance of missing the bloody great yellow petrol pump that appeared in the middle of the instrument binnacle! Showed 52 miles when it came on. 54.68 litres was the read on the fill when I got round to it. £77.04 . Ouch!

The black screen says 'insufficient fuel to complete your journey'.
You can trick it into displaying the warning by just programming a destination further than the range of fuel remaining in the tank.
Great little feature

Not a new thing for Range Rovers, all of the with satnav have always had the feature. Somebody on the RRS forums in the early days relied on it as his 4.2S/C couldn't get from Wiltshire to Central London without a refuel (didn't help that he always used Sport mode locking out 6th gear!)
