    Hi! For the first time since I have had my 2006 I accidently got to the blinking gas light. I put just $10 in it because someone in a couple days is giving me a gas card. So I'm waiting for that before I add more and fill up. I won't be even driving it more than a couple blocks before I get the gas card. (I work at home :D )

    However, after $10 of gas was added my gas light is still blinking. Is there anything I should do about it or it just needs more gas before it goes away? If fills like to gas was added BUT I have the receipt from putting $10 into it.

    I would appreciate any help! Tracy

    I know in my 2nd gen you have to put 3-3.5 gal of gas in before the light will go out. I assume the C is similar to this rule. :)

    Ok, so I'm ok then to just drive it like that for another day? I will only be driving a few blocks.

    So once I get more gas in it then it will stop blinking?

    Yes.

    The GenII requires 3ga during a single fill to register as a fillup.
