What does DTE on the car dashboard mean?
1 Answers
The DTE on the car dashboard indicates the estimated distance the vehicle can continue to travel with the remaining fuel in the tank. In other words, it shows the approximate mileage the car can cover with the remaining gasoline. The car dashboard is a device that reflects the working conditions of various vehicle systems. Different car dashboards may have different instruments, but common gauges in most vehicles include the speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging gauge. More details are as follows: 1. Handling the low fuel warning light on highways: When the fuel warning light comes on, the first step is to locate the nearest gas station. If you're on a highway, look for a service area or exit the highway immediately to find a gas station. 2. Operational handling: At the same time, control your speed appropriately, turn off high-power electrical appliances promptly, avoid congested roads, and try to drive smoothly to minimize braking. It is not recommended to wait until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling.
