What does range on the dashboard mean?
1 Answers
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.
