How to Display the Remaining Mileage on the Fuel Gauge in a Land Rover?
4 Answers
Land Rover displays the remaining mileage that can be driven with the current fuel level as follows: 1. Press the brake pedal and press the one-touch start button. At this time, the dashboard will light up, indicating that the vehicle's power is fully connected. 2. Then press the function selection button on the multifunction steering wheel and press the OK button to confirm the operation. At this point, the remaining mileage based on the fuel level will be displayed on the dashboard. The fuel gauge shows 0 km under the following circumstances: 1. When the fuel gauge shows 0 km, the fuel warning light comes on. This is actually just a reminder to refuel, and there is still some fuel left in the tank. 2. In this situation, a typical family car can still drive about 20-30 km, but the exact distance depends on the vehicle model, fuel tank size, and fuel consumption. In the city, you can usually make it to a gas station. If you're on the highway, it is recommended to drive at a steady speed in the right lane and turn off the air conditioning to maximize fuel efficiency.
On my Land Rover, checking the remaining range is quite straightforward: After starting the vehicle, the default display on the right side of the instrument cluster may show the remaining distance based on fuel level. If it's not immediately visible, I usually use the left/right arrow keys or the scroll wheel on the steering wheel to toggle through display modes. A gentle press or a few scrolls will switch to the 'Trip Data' or 'Information Display' section, where you can find the 'Distance to Empty' option. The exact button location varies by Land Rover model – for example, the Range Rover might have controls on the right side of the steering wheel, while the Evoque may use the left-side scroll wheel. The key is to ensure the vehicle is running before operating to avoid accidental inputs. I typically check it before driving to plan my route, especially before highways to estimate refueling points. If the number drops too quickly, it might indicate recent aggressive driving habits consuming more fuel; maintaining steady speeds can extend the displayed range. Remember to perform regular maintenance checks to prevent sensor malfunctions affecting accuracy.
I always monitor the remaining mileage while driving just in case. For Land Rovers, the first step is to start the engine to activate the system, then look for the control button near the steering wheel; on my own vehicle, it's the right-side scroll wheel—just roll it up or down a few times to switch displays until the fuel range number appears. If it's not on the initial screen, don't worry, sometimes it's tucked under secondary menus like 'Vehicle Information.' Operate gently to avoid damaging the buttons; slow scrolling will bring it up. I prefer setting it to always display for quick visibility of how far I can go. Note this value is calculated based on average fuel consumption—if you've been accelerating aggressively lately, it may show less, so it's wise to keep a 20% buffer when refueling. This habit has saved me from roadside breakdowns multiple times.
Checking the remaining kilometers on a Land Rover is quite straightforward: After starting the engine, I usually press the toggle button on the steering wheel directly, such as the center or side buttons, to scroll through the display. Within two or three clicks, I can locate the 'Remaining Driving Distance' option. For specific models like the Discovery 5, it might take a few more turns of the scroll wheel—just watch the screen for changes. If you're unsure about the button locations, try adjusting the steering wheel position for easier access once seated. Remember to check the battery and sensor status to ensure the accuracy of the displayed figures for trip planning.
