What does it mean? My W210 showed me accurately remaining fuel and miles. Why W211 is joking? Any ideas how to know remaining fuel?

The included the pictogram once it gets to a certain miles remaining level. People noticed that once itreached 0 they still could drive some amount of miles. It probably was done for a quality improvement for rating purposes. Changing it might require a developer DAS.

Just get some gas already!!

I saw it once in the CLK. Maybe it is for the folks who are confused, a picture of a car next to a gas pump should be clear enough???

You can still scroll through the MFD after you see that pic and get back to the "range" screen.
