That light is the same thing as running on reserve on a carb'ed bike.
Except carb'ed bikes reserve is generally 1 gal VS fuel injection having .5 gal when the light comes on. Never understood why they did that. The tanks are the same size I think.
Either way, I wouldn't let it get that low very often. You are running a fuel pump and they don't like being run dry or close to it.

Low gas
I never use my gauge I did a few runs to figure out what I get per gallon and use that as my guide I would not trust the gauge I get 31 miles to a gallon when I hit 100 miles I will start thinking about filling up
