How Far Can the Mazda Atenza Go After the Fuel Gauge Light Comes On?
1 Answers
Generally, you can continue driving for about 20 to 30 kilometers, which is just enough to reach the next gas station. While driving, avoid using high-power electrical devices such as air conditioning and navigation, as these significantly increase engine load. Drive smoothly and minimize steps like braking and gear shifting. Here are some precautions: 1. When the fuel gauge light comes on, it is crucial to take it seriously and head to the nearest gas station. This is not only to avoid inconvenience but also to prevent damage to the car. Modern fuel pumps are installed at the bottom of the fuel tank and rely on gasoline for cooling. When the fuel level is low, the fuel pump cannot dissipate heat effectively, which can shorten its lifespan. 2. During normal driving, the remaining fuel range displayed on the dashboard is relatively accurate. Therefore, do not panic when the fuel gauge alerts you. Plan your route to the nearest gas station and drive there. If no gas station is nearby, you may have to wait for assistance. 3. Running on very low fuel can also harm the car. With low fuel levels, aggressive driving can cause significant vehicle tilt, affecting the fuel pump's operation. After the fuel warning light comes on, there is no guarantee that you will find a gas station within the remaining range, especially when driving on highways or in unfamiliar cities.
