Default Low gas light/bell for Rx350 2015

Have an RX350 2015. Looking for a bell/ light to tell me the gas tank is only has 1/4 left. Is this possible? I don't have an owner's manual to look it up myself.
Thanks,
Cautious in Maine

Why not set info screen to cruise range

I am guessing the bell isn't for the poster but rather for someone else driving the car????

I am not aware of anything like this on the RX.

Welcome to Club Lexus.
Beep/bells are only good if they are on continuously. [the annoying kind]

Not having an owners manual is not good. Please contact Lexus of USA for a hardcopy. PDFs are floating around.

Back to your question ... I dont have an answer. I do have a strong suggestion:
Every time you start your vehicle, scan all the gauges. We become so accustomed to daily ritual and assume every thing is normal. This is a false sense of security. Would you sit in a plane where the pilot routinely does not do a flight check. I am sure the answer is a NO, so please do the check. If possible walk around the vehicle too and always look at the ground, when you back out. If possible encourage all family members to do the same.

i cannot endorse this post any higher. I remember the days when we had no tire pressure display and simply walking around just once was greatly helpful. Ditto for oil drops on the ground, possible door dings while you were away, and even things like wear on the tire are all quickly noticeable.

Default Not sure if this is what you wanted but..

There is a Low Fuel Warming Light (just above the Fuel Gauge) that comes on when there's about 2-3 gallons of fuel left in the tank. It does not have a bell/chime that goes along with it(AFAIK).

There may also be (depending on options) a Trip Information option in the Driver Info panel. This can be set on the Distance Remaining setting to let you know how many miles you have left on your current fuel level, based on your "normal" fuel usage(prior history of actual MPG).
Hope these settings will help you out...
