The fuel gauge displays the remaining fuel amount in the tank. There is an arrow on the fuel gauge indicating the side of the vehicle where the fuel filler door is located. '1' represents a full tank, while '0' indicates an empty tank. Below is an introduction to the Cadillac CT5: 1. Exterior: The Cadillac CT5 measures 4924/1883/1453mm in length/width/height, with a wheelbase of 2947mm. Its precise 50:50 body weight distribution fully balances the weight on each tire, achieving a perfect balance between acceleration and steering. The sport version of the CT5 pays homage to the classic V-Series performance cars with its iconic V-shaped mesh grille, while the luxury version features a starburst-style front grille with an embedded exquisite shield shape. 2. Powertrain: The Cadillac CT5 adopts a new-generation lightweight luxury rear-wheel-drive platform to enhance driving pleasure. It is equipped with a 2.0T variable-cylinder turbocharged engine featuring Tripower variable valve management technology, enabling three operating modes: four-cylinder high-performance mode, four-cylinder economy mode, and two-cylinder ultra-economy mode. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and ETRS electronic gear shift, it boasts a computing capability of 180 million operations per second, improving handling responsiveness.
The most convenient way to check the fuel level in the CT5 is on the dashboard behind the steering wheel. There's a small fuel icon in the lower middle section, and when the light comes on, it displays the remaining fuel quantity next to it. For city commuting, I usually just glance at this number to see if it's enough to reach a gas station. Sometimes, the infotainment system also shows fuel level information, but I generally don't bother reaching out to touch the screen and navigate menus while driving. Additionally, when the fuel level is critically low, both the dashboard and the infotainment system will pop up a warning reminding you to refuel immediately. The fuel gauge in this car is quite accurate, so it's recommended to refuel when it reaches 1/4 to avoid frequent trips to the gas station. Running on low fuel increases fuel pump wear, which is bad for the car and stressful.
The fuel gauge of the CT5 is displayed on the right side of the 12-inch full LCD instrument cluster. The icon design is quite intuitive—a fuel pump symbol with a percentage number, which turns red when the low fuel warning light activates. Personally, I prefer using the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to quickly toggle through fuel consumption data. If you forget to check the fuel level and end up stranded, don’t panic—the vehicle’s system can locate nearby gas stations and navigate you there. Here’s a handy tip: a short press on the top button of the turn signal stalk can bring up a fuel level pop-up display. After the fuel warning light comes on, you can still drive approximately 50 kilometers, as estimated by the manufacturer to give drivers a buffer period.
Having driven so many cars, I find the fuel gauge display on the CT5 really eye-catching. In the lower right corner of the display right behind the steering wheel, the fuel needle is super large, and the numbers are displayed in bright yellow, making it clearly visible even during night driving. Once on a long trip, I suddenly noticed a small fuel pump icon flashing yellow next to the numbers, which was a warning to refuel. When the low fuel indicator lights up, it's advisable not to hesitate and find a gas station immediately. I checked the manual, and when the warning light comes on, there's only about 8.5 liters of fuel left in the tank, giving an actual range of just around fifty to sixty kilometers.
