How to Check Fuel Consumption in Classic Focus?
2 Answers
Here are the steps to check fuel consumption in the Classic Focus: 1. Insert the car key and press the SET/RESET button on the turn signal lever with your left hand. 2. Turn the key from position 0 to position II and hold for a few seconds. 3. When the word "TEST" appears on the instrument cluster's trip computer display, it means you have successfully entered engineering mode. 4. Press the SET/RESET button to view the data in the trip computer. 5. When you scroll to the later positions, the RAFE item will be displayed, allowing you to check the average fuel consumption. The Focus is equipped with a Duratec-HE reverse-mounted aluminum alloy engine, which is cast with full aluminum alloy material and features a reverse-mounted design. It delivers a maximum power of 104kW and a maximum torque of 180N·m.
I've been driving my classic Focus for almost ten years, and checking fuel consumption is actually quite convenient. Normally before driving, after starting the engine, I just press the TRIP button on the dashboard a few times to switch to the average fuel consumption display. My car usually shows 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. If it's not accurate, it might be because the data isn't reset regularly. Remember to reset the trip record when the tank is full for more precise readings. To save fuel, I make a habit of maintaining a steady speed and braking less. Regularly checking tire pressure and engine condition also helps, since better maintenance leads to lower fuel consumption. Manual calculation is another good method: fill up the tank and note the mileage, then after driving a certain distance, refill and calculate the ratio—it's reliable and cost-effective.
