Method to check the remaining fuel gauge bars on the Roewe i5: The fuel gauge of the Roewe i5 is integrated into the car's tachometer, located directly at the bottom of the tachometer. 'F' indicates a full tank, while 'E' means the tank is empty. The Roewe i5 is developed and produced by SAIC Motor, positioned as a compact car with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. In terms of dimensions, the Roewe i5 measures 4601mm in length, 1818mm in width, and 1489mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. Exterior-wise, the Roewe i5 Linghao edition features the brand's signature rhythmic floating wing grille design, paired with rectangular headlight clusters and a trapezoidal air intake below. The side profile showcases a dual waistline design, while the rear incorporates a subtle ducktail spoiler. Additionally, all models come with a limited-time free upgrade to LED headlights.
On the left side of my Roewe i5's dashboard, there is a fuel gauge divided vertically into 4 large segments, with a small tick mark in the middle of each segment. A few seconds after starting the car, the needle will point to the corresponding position. For example, if there are 3 segments left, it means roughly three-quarters of a tank of fuel. I usually refuel when only the last segment remains, as experienced drivers know that the fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling, and prolonged low fuel levels can damage the car. When the needle approaches the red 'E' mark, it's time to refuel immediately. The fuel warning light in this car is quite sensitive, turning yellow when there are about 6 liters left. Actually, the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel can switch to display the digital range, which is more accurate.
There's a button on top of the control lever on the left side of the steering wheel. Press it three times to switch to the digital fuel level display. Last week on the highway, I suddenly noticed the gauge showed two bars left but the digital readout indicated 80 km remaining. Remember, when the fuel gauge reaches the red zone, there's only 8 liters left, and when the yellow fuel can light comes on, you should find a gas station immediately. Once I refueled with just one bar left and added 42 liters, which shows the car's 60-liter tank has reliable low-fuel warnings. Developing a habit of regularly checking the remaining range is safer, especially for long trips.
