F(ull) reading corresponds nominally to 62.9 L (~16.6 galUS) in the tank.
Half-full reading corresponds nominally to 35 L (~9.2 galUS) in the tank.
E(mpty) reading corresponds nominally to 7.0 L (~1.8 galUS) in the tank.

The fuel light comes on when there is nominally 9.8 L (~2.6 galUS) left in the tank.

I have tracked the markings for every one of my fillups. I agree with the information on half-full but not the others.
I have gone as far as 100 miles before the line dropped down to the full mark. When I fill up I don't overfill.
I calculate that I have 2.6 gallons left when I hit empty. I have verified it by filling up at this point, and the tank only took 14.5 gallons.
My light comes on when I have 4.2 gallons left in the tank.
