Although the function of the present invention is not essential for a vehicle, it is a necessary function in that the driving environment of a driver can be made comfortable.

종래에는 운전자가 연료 주유구의 위치을 기억하고 있지 않으면 재급유를 위해 주유소 진입시 사이드미러나 창밖을 통해 혹은 차문을 열고 연료 주유구의 위치를 확인하여야 하는 불편함이 있었다.Conventionally, if the driver does not remember the position of the fuel filling hole, there is an inconvenience of checking the position of the fuel filling hole through the side mirror or the window or opening the car door when entering the gas station for refueling.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 불편함을 해소하기 위해 안출된 것으로, 연료 부족으로 주유소로 진입하는 경우 계기판의 연료경고등을 이용하여 운전자에게 연료 주유구의 위치를 알려 자동차를 주유기 좌우 중 어느 쪽에 주차할지 쉽게 판단할 수 있는 방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been devised to solve the above inconvenience, when entering the gas station due to lack of fuel by using the fuel warning light of the instrument panel to inform the driver of the location of the fuel filling port to easily determine which side of the car to park the car The goal is to provide a way to do it.

도 1은 연료경고등이 포함되어 있는 종래의 자동차 계기판 구성도.1 is a configuration diagram of a conventional automobile instrument panel including a fuel warning light.

도 2는 종래의 연료경고등에 불이 들어온 모습.Figure 2 is a state in which the conventional fuel warning light is lit.

도 3는 본 발명의 연료 주유구 위치 표시 방법에서 연료 주유구가 자동차 우측에 위치함을 표시하는 연료경고등 모습.3 is a fuel warning light showing that the fuel filling hole is located on the right side of the vehicle in the fuel filling hole position display method of the present invention.

도 4는 본 발명의 연료 주유구 위치 표시 방법에서 연료 주유구가 자동차 좌측에 위치함을 표시하는 연료경고등 모습.4 is a fuel warning light showing that the fuel filling hole is located on the left side of the vehicle in the fuel filling hole position display method of the present invention.

도 5은 본 발명의 연료 주유구 위치 표시 방법이 구현된 차량 계기판 구성도.5 is a configuration of a vehicle instrument panel implemented fuel injection position display method of the present invention.
