low fuel cancels out remote start solutions?

[ramhouston]

Is there anyway to prevent the low fuel remote start cancel? It’s very f*cking frustrating how i cannot warm up or cool down my vehicle when i really need to. If the cancel thing came on around 10 miles DTE i get that but 50 miles DTE is way too soon.

 

[PurpleRT]

Yep. Refuel it


Edit: cmon seriously lol

 

[Scram1500]

Yeah I'd fill the tank too, preferably with gasoline

 

[PurpleRT]

You gotta think the 50 miles or so till empty is a safe zone. Imagine the amount of people that would continue to ignore the low fuel light and keep remote starting their vehicles until eventually guess what its now out of fuel then go on a rant lol.

Its takes 10 mins to fill up so hardly a additional inconvenience to do even more often if necessary.

Walk out and start the truck then go back inside.

Sorry I don’t have a solution for you, however I agree that there are way too many “nannies” controlling things that used to be at the discretion of humans . They design newer vehicles to protect idiots and take away all of our fun

I remember a toy when I was young called the verti-bird sea rescue copter. It had an actual spinning blade on it and would fly in a circle to rescue people and lift them into the styrofoam rescue ship. I suppose too many (or maybe only one) people got hurt by the spinning chopper blades and the lawyers took them off the shelves.

I haven’t tried a tazer yet, but that may be a solution and I’m sure someone will confirm if it can or not.

Oddly enough the wife’s Honda does not have the low fuel cut off to prevent remote start.
And just yesterday she remote started it not once, but twice to warm it up and when driving away, “0 miles to empty” was displayed. Fortunately they allow room for those who ignore and she made it a gas station..
How do you fix this…… “Fill It Up”

Also, I always keep at least 5 gallons of gas in my shed for lawn equipment, which I thought most people did . These Nannie’s are a nuisance.

 

[ramhouston]

Yeah no sh*t sherlocks.. my other vehicles have never had this stupid damn feature. It should be on you if you run out of fuel not to rely on a stupid system to tell you. Let’s also not forget reserve fuel exists when the DTE hits 0 miles.

It's to prevent morons from running out of gas and being left stranded somewhere when it's cold out which would invite more useless rants. I personally don't mind that "feature" because I pay attention. I live in New England so the winter months can be brutal and I don't want to run the tank that low anyway. To each their own I guess

 

[Scram1500]

Don't idle it anyways, legend has it the cam will shrink

I can count on one hand I've let my tank get low enough for the low fuel light to come on. No reason to let it get that low as it's hard on the fuel pump as well as allows condensation to form in the tank during cold weather.

Not necessarily. I sold all my gas lawn equipment 15 yrs ago when I moved to the Phoenix area since I don't have a lawn. However, since then I picked up a gas pressure washer and it's the only ICE equipment I currently have.

I agree it's to idiot proof it. I would never let my tank get below a 1/4, so I have never had a problem. It strains the fuel pump under a 1/4 tank pump runs hotter. Otherwise if they didn't have it people would be complaining way more about it. Just keep your tank above 1/4 and you will be fine.

Time to trade it in then or get gas more often but, make sure on your future test drive you trigger the low fuel light, park it, then remote start it. I would hate for you to be hugely inconvenienced again not having this feature.

Seriously…….

It might be time to go buy a Ford chevy or Toyota then. Or just don't let the tank get that low. It has happened to me a time or two when I forgot to fill up and it is a pain but it's not a deal breaker for me

 

[Malodave]

I had 75 miles on mine when I got home. Expecting to refuel in the Morning.
It was at 50 by morning and it would cut off after the remote start. Annoying
at least, but I under stand the logic in it.

It's not hard on the fuel pump to run the tank low.
