DRIVERS are only just realising what the arrow next to the low fuel light means.
The icon is actually a neat trick on almost all makes and models that prevents confusion when refuelling.
The arrow next to your car dash’s fuel pump icon signals which vehicle side your gas pump is
On the fuel gauge on the instrument panel, there’s a little icon of a petrol pump.
Next to the icon is an arrow, pointing either left or right.
If it’s pointing to the left, your car’s filler cap is on the left, and if it’s pointing right then the cap is on the right.
In some cars, this information is represented with a fuel pump graphic clearly to the left or the right of the gauge.
Another TikTok user also recently revealed a little-known key fob hack that could save drivers a fortune if they get locked out of their cars.
Drivers too were blown away to learn about a clever seatbelt feature that will make life so much easier.
The petrol cap tip is also one of the many mind-blowing hacks for everyday items that people have only learnt in their adult years, and dubbed “life-changing”.
Meanwhile, some cars have a special dashboard symbol that will warn you if your engine is overheating – spotting it could save you thousands.
The light looks like a thermometer and has wavy lines at the bottom.
A survey by ATS Euromaster found 80 per cent of drivers had no idea what it was for.
But this warning light warns you that the engine temperature is getting too high – and indicates your car is running low on engine coolant.
If you don’t identify the symbol, or confuse it with something else, your engine could overheat.
This may result in irreparable damage – you may even need to replace the engine.
