Range on the dashboard refers to the remaining driving distance in kilometers, theoretically indicating how far you can travel with the remaining fuel in the tank. However, the number displayed on the dashboard is only an estimate based on current fuel consumption. Once fuel consumption increases, the range value will decrease rapidly, as it is not a fixed value. Therefore, it is important not to wait until the range is almost empty before refueling. Some car owners have reported that their range warning light stays on even when there is clearly half a tank of fuel left, and the dashboard displays a range of 68km. This is actually a range malfunction issue, usually caused by a faulty fuel level sensor (fuel gauge sender), or possibly due to issues with the fuel tank sensor, display unit, or computer control system.

Should the AC Button Be Turned On When Using the Car's Heater in Winter?

When using the car's heater in winter, there is no need to turn on the AC button. The warm air from the car's heater comes from the heat generated by the engine during operation, which is essentially a form of waste heat recycling. The working principle of the car's heater is as follows: after the engine's cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, the dissipated heat is blown into the car's interior by a fan to produce warm air. The method to turn on the car's heater in winter is to rotate the knob to the heating direction and turn on the fan switch to release warm air. The functions of the car's air conditioning system are: 1. To adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to an optimal state; 2. To provide a comfortable riding environment for passengers and reduce travel fatigue.
