At what remaining fuel level does the Corolla trigger a warning?

The Corolla triggers a fuel warning when approximately 8 liters of fuel remain. Below are detailed specifications about the Corolla: 1. Overview: The Corolla (formerly known as 'Corolla' in some markets) is a Toyota brand. It is equipped with Michelin 215/45-R17 tires, TRD-Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, TRD-TF4 17-inch sport rims, reinforced clutch, and high-performance brake pads to ensure excellent sporty performance. 2. Other specifications: Wheelbase is 2700mm. Dimensions are 4630/1775/1480mm. Trunk capacity ranges from 426 to 452 liters. Fuel tank capacity is 55 liters. Engine types include naturally aspirated or turbocharged. Standard seating capacity is 5. Top speed is 180km/h. Acceleration time is 10.36 seconds. Drive type is front-engine, front-wheel drive.
After driving a Corolla for so many years, I've got a pretty good handle on the fuel warning light. Usually, the yellow light comes on when the gauge is down to the last small segment, which translates to roughly 7 to 10 liters of fuel remaining. The warning system is thoughtfully designed - after the light comes on, you've still got at least 60-70 kilometers of range, plenty to find a gas station. I remember one time on the highway when the light came on, I made it to the service area with miles to spare. My advice is don't panic when it lights up, but don't delay either - best to refuel within 50 kilometers. The older Corolla models would flash the warning two segments earlier, while the newer ones are more precise. It's actually bad for the fuel pump to run the tank completely dry - these days I make a habit of refueling when there's still a quarter tank left.
