How many kilometers can the Outlander drive when the fuel gauge light flashes?
1 Answers
When the fuel warning light of the Outlander comes on, according to the car's manual, it can typically drive for 40-50 kilometers. Once the fuel warning light is illuminated, it is advisable to minimize sudden acceleration, hard braking, and turn off the air conditioning, among other energy-saving driving habits. Below are some additional details: 1. Determining whether the fuel tank has fuel is essentially the job of the fuel level sensor. If the gasoline level in the car's fuel tank is too low, below the minimum detectable level of the sensor, the fuel gauge light will come on, indicating insufficient fuel and the need to refuel as soon as possible. 2. When the fuel light is on, it can affect the car's fuel pump. The fuel pump, which is responsible for pumping fuel, generates heat during operation. When the fuel level is sufficient, the fuel pump is submerged in fuel, allowing the heat to dissipate into the fuel. 3. When the warning light is on, the fuel level is below the fuel pump, leaving the pump exposed and causing slower heat dissipation. In high-temperature summer weather, prolonged exposure to such conditions may lead to long-term overheating and potential damage to the fuel pump.
