I suspect that when fuel is low one just gets a message in the dot matrix display in the middle. The Nissan has no symbol on the dash either, but the fuel filler flap release does have a pump with the hose on the correct side. You can't see the release lever while driving, though.

Having 2 fuel tanks or a switched reserve was desirable before the days of low fuel warning lights, let alone remaining range displays.
IIRC you had to open both fillers to fill either tank.
