Remove key?

Today while driving with a very low gas tank, I got the message "remove key and wait 10 seconds." I was in the middle of an intersection, so I humbled along (with no power whatsoever) until I could pull over, shut down, remove key, etc. When I restarted, everything was fine.

What was that all about?

The driver provided the low fuel info, the car ided the error condition which was unrelated to the low fuel situation. Next!

Correct. But he said "Today while driving with a very low gas tank, I got the message "remove key and wait 10 seconds." I was in the middle of an intersection".

Even without the 'low gas' comment, he said he was driving. He didn't say the car died. Maybe he can clear up that point. Otherwise, it's the same only different.
