The light comes on when you have 2.4 gallons of usable fuel left, giving you 60 to 70 miles depending on your fuel economy. You can't access the last half gallon or so of your tank because it's below the pickup. That's to prevent exactly what OP was afraid of, sucking crap up into the fuel system. That last half gallon gives the tank a place to collect water and debris.
If you run the Torque app, you can set up a fuel gauge that will tell you how much usable fuel you have left. It's very helpful in determining when your situation is urgent.
