Default Needs more gas
Probably a faulty sensor.

I already topped the reservoir up with gas. I made sure it was unleaded too.

Default No - its on the tank - but I have not changed it yet. My daughter has the car in Indiana U
and I will be driving it back with her over Xmas as she will be going to Hong Kong for a semester abroad. I will replace it then. I think I remember being able to see it.
