Mr. Bean,

I just added this to the FAQ from your description about running out of gas:

"If you run out of gas in an NHW20, ". . . the car upper dash lit up with warning lights galore and the gas pedal stopped working. The specific lights were the large exclamation point in a triangle followed by the (!) light and the VSC light and the image of the engine" but no "OUT OF FUEL" indicator. You can drive a short distance, at a slow speed in electric mode directly to a gas station. Once filled with gas, the errors will clear."

The FAQ is now Version 1.05.

THANKS!

Now if we can find out what happens with an NHW11 out of gas, we might be able to remove the NHW20 qualifier. Any volunteers?

BTW folks, if you have something you'd like to see in the FAQ or changes, feel free to message or e-mail me with the suggestion. In this case, "out of gas" is a risk someone might get and the lack of an "OUT OF FUEL" indicator in a sea of 'Three Mile Island' warning and error lights might lead to an expensive tow or avoidable repair bill.
