Can a Mercedes-Benz still drive when the fuel gauge reaches 0?
1 Answers
When the fuel gauge of a Mercedes-Benz shows a remaining range of 0, it can still continue to drive for a certain distance. Method to estimate how long you can drive when the range shows 0: When the fuel gauge reads "0", fill up the tank completely and note the number of liters added. When the fuel gauge shows "0" again, the remaining fuel in the tank equals the total tank capacity minus the liters added during the previous refill. Then, based on your average fuel consumption while driving, calculate how many more kilometers you can travel. Therefore, the distance you can drive when the fuel gauge shows "0" equals the remaining fuel at "0" divided by the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, multiplied by 100 kilometers. What to do when the remaining range is 0: You should reasonably control your speed, promptly turn off high-power electrical devices, avoid congested roads, and strive for smooth driving to minimize braking. It is not recommended to wait until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling.
