What does it mean when the fuel light comes on in the car?

When the fuel light comes on in the car, it indicates that there is not much fuel left in the fuel tank. The meanings of the warning lights on the car dashboard are as follows: 1. Engine fault light comes on: It seems quite common for the engine fault light to stay on, and sometimes it may flicker on and off. In most cases, this is due to a malfunction in the three-way catalytic converter. There are several reasons that can cause the three-way catalytic converter to fail. First, the quality of the fuel being used is poor, preventing the fuel from burning completely and leading to carbon buildup inside the engine. Second, the oxygen sensor inside the three-way catalytic converter is damaged, causing the engine to not operate properly. Third, the three-way catalytic converter itself may be clogged, resulting in the car's emissions not meeting the expected standards. 2. The oil pressure indicator light stays on: In relatively older German cars, it is common to see the oil pressure indicator light staying on. When the oil pressure indicator light remains on, it means the viscosity of the oil is no longer suitable for the car's current condition, indicating that the oil should be replaced as soon as possible. Additionally, excessive oil pressure could also be caused by a lack of oil.
