i had the same fault on my 2.0 hdi which i have just got about 3 weeks ago. Im not saying this is how to set it but it made my gauge more accurate than empty being at a quarter tank.

Firstly i took the surround of the speedo clocks and pulled them out from the dash enough so i could get the clear plastic front off. i removed the clear front and placed the clocks back in position. i turned on the ignition so the fuel gauge needle goes up. then go in to the sender which is under the back seat drivers side and unplug it. after a few seconds the fuel gauge needle should drop to where (in my opinion) it would register no fuel. take to table spoons to your gauge and carefully use the spoon end on either side of the needle and gently work it loose. remove it and then carefully place it back on in the empty position. i did this and now my fuel light comes on just under a quarter tank. much better than coming on at half a tank lol.
Hope this helps Smile

Reboot the BSI and if that doesn't work, go to the dealer for a software upgrade. Quite a common issue on the 206. Brimming the tank can also work, but not guaranteed.

No, that's for the multiplexed (or very similar to it)
The pre-plex/non-plex method can be found in this thread
