Why is the remaining range not displayed on the Geely Emgrand sedan?
4 Answers
If the remaining range is not displayed on the Geely Emgrand sedan, it may be a settings issue. The display can be adjusted on the instrument panel. All vehicles allow switching between instantaneous fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, and remaining range display on the instrument panel. Vehicle mileage: The vehicle's mileage can be viewed on the odometer, usually indicated by ODO. The numerical value is followed by the unit km, representing the vehicle's total current mileage. This allows the driver to know the distance traveled and calculate fuel costs, indirectly reflecting the vehicle's fuel efficiency. Purpose of remaining range: Generally, there are two types of vehicle mileage: one is the total mileage the vehicle has traveled, and the other is the measurable mileage. The owner can manually reset it to zero. There is usually a small button (cylindrical) next to the number; pressing and holding it will reset the value. Normally, it cannot be reset, but some used car dealers can adjust it using instruments. The number can only increase unidirectionally (the number gets larger), and the displayed number indicates the actual distance traveled in kilometers.
I've been driving a Geely Emgrand for several years and encountered the issue of the range not displaying, mostly due to instrument cluster malfunctions or sensor problems. Check if the fuel level sensor is dusty or damaged—once it fails, the numbers disappear. Also, the system software occasionally gets stuck with bugs; try restarting the vehicle or disconnecting the battery for a few seconds to reset it. Budget cars often have these issues—minor problems left unfixed can be especially dangerous on long highway trips, leading to miscalculations and breakdowns. During regular maintenance, ask the mechanic to inspect the wiring and fuses to prevent aging hazards. Cleaning the sensor yourself isn’t hard—just wipe it with a damp cloth—but for more complex issues, it’s better to visit a 4S shop for professional help. It won’t cost much and saves hassle. In short, don’t delay—safety first, or you might end up panicking with an empty tank halfway.
My friend's car had a similar issue before, where the range suddenly went blank, possibly due to a short circuit or unstable power supply. If the dashboard is otherwise functioning normally and only this number is missing, it's likely the sensor has failed; if other functions are also malfunctioning, it could be a blown fuse or module failure. This problem is particularly scary during long-distance driving because you can't estimate how far you can go—if you run out of fuel in a remote area, calling for help would be troublesome. First, check the fuse box yourself and try replacing it with a new one; if that doesn't work, use a tool to measure the voltage, as too high a voltage can damage components. Get into the habit of using high-quality fuel with fewer impurities to extend the sensor's lifespan. Such issues are common with older cars—fixing it early brings peace of mind, and it's not expensive, just a few hundred bucks to resolve.
My Emgrand's range wasn't displaying last time, and the mechanic said it's often caused by dirty sensors or false alarms. Is checking the fuel level correct? If the fuel gauge works but the mileage is blank, the sensor might be loose or have poor plug contact. Software updates are also crucial, as outdated systems are prone to freezing and causing data display issues. Simply cleaning the sensor interface or restarting the car's computer might solve the problem. Regular cleaning doesn't take much time and can extend part lifespan. Don't always wait for major failures to take action, as small issues can accumulate and cost more.
