Low fuel light warning

[hafnia]

Hi, about a week ago I had the low fuel light warning pop up - as I had low fuel obviously (no surprise), however when I turned off the car, and turned it on again it was gone (the needle was still low and pointing almost at empty), and after I refueled it, I noticed that the low fuel light warning doesn't come on when I turn the ignition on, I know some lights dont 'check', such as the handbrake light, but is the low fuel light warning supposed to work like that too? Or did the bulb blow? 

 

Thanks,

Low fuel warning light can show up and then not show again because of the car may not be on a level surface. But the fuel is low and the warning light will soon come on again.
