Low fuel light

Kind of off topic, but for the record it is much better for your fuel system if you never allow your car to drop below 2 bars.

gaz pump is like a vertical tube with a piston inside, going from the bottom to the top of the fuel tank. the higher the gas level inside, the better the pump gets cooled, the longer it lasts

That is just a general rule of thumb not to let your car get below a 1/4 tank, there are many vehicles that if drained below a 1/4 tank on a regular basis have fuel pump problems

The Yaris uses fuel in the tank to cool the fuel pump, letting it get too low can cause over heating that might result in a premature failure of the pump.
