I recently encountered the same issue with my Roewe i5 where the fuel gauge showed full but the red E light was on, which was really strange! I think this is mainly caused by the fuel float getting stuck at the low position, possibly due to a faulty fuel level sensor or poor wiring contact. There's actually plenty of fuel in the tank, but the display is incorrect. As a car owner, I suggest first manually checking the fuel level: open the fuel tank cap to see the actual fuel level, or test by pressing the accelerator a bit after starting the car. If the problem persists, it might be a blown fuse or instrument cluster malfunction. It's best to avoid long-distance driving to prevent running out of fuel midway. This issue is quite common, especially in older cars where sensor problems are more likely. Last time, I had to replace the fuel float at the 4S shop to fix it. Remember, don't panic—start with simple troubleshooting.
