787 Fuel low quantity EICAS message

Hope never to see this message......if I do the checklist calls for a flap 20 landing.
Can't find any info on the fuel level which triggers this message though??

the note at the top of the checklist should answer it,

"Avoid nose up high attitude. Make thrust changes slowly and smoothly. This reduces the chance of uncovering fuel pumps"

Less then 2000KG in any main tank triggers the EICAS message I think.

As with all things in the B787, they are very reluctant to state an actual figure. Fuel imbalance for example. Take more fuel to avoid seeing the EICAS, and if it comes up, land
