How many kilometers can a car drive after the fuel light comes on?
2 Answers
After the fuel light comes on, a car can generally drive about thirty kilometers. There are three main reasons for the fuel light to illuminate: insufficient oil pressure, malfunction of the oil pressure sensor, or low fuel level. Solutions for the fuel light on the dashboard include replacing the oil pressure sensor or refueling. Below is an introduction to dashboard indicator lights and their functions: 1. Door status indicator: Shows whether the doors are fully closed. 2. Battery indicator: Displays the working status of the battery. 3. Brake pad indicator: Shows the wear condition of the brake pads. 4. Coolant temperature indicator: Displays the temperature of the engine coolant. 5. Seatbelt indicator: Indicates whether the seatbelt is in the locked position.
I've been driving for several years, and generally, you can still drive about 30 to 50 kilometers after the fuel light comes on, but this really depends on your car model and driving habits. If you're on the highway, maintaining a steady throttle, you might go even further, but I recommend not exceeding 50 kilometers because the fuel pump could overheat and get damaged. Once, I pushed my luck and drove a bit further, only to break down halfway. The lesson is to find a gas station and fill up immediately—safety first.
