How to Check the Fuel Gauge on Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida's fuel gauge can be viewed in the middle of the dashboard. The fan-shaped pattern below displays the fuel level in the tank, ranging from empty (left) to half (middle) to full (right). Typically, a car dashboard includes a speedometer, tachometer, coolant temperature gauge, and fuel gauge. Different car models may have improvements, such as the coolant temperature gauge displaying through illuminated segments. However, the fuel gauge rarely sees modifications; each gauge is distinguished by simple icons, with the fuel gauge naturally adopting the style of a gas station fuel pump. The Volkswagen Lavida is Shanghai Volkswagen's first independently developed A-segment car. In terms of body dimensions, the Volkswagen Lavida measures 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height.
The fuel gauge of the Volkswagen Lavida is easily visible on the dashboard. I always glance at it first when driving, as it's a basic driving habit. After starting the car, there's an icon in the middle or right area of the dashboard that looks like a small fuel pump or a dripping oil symbol. The needle pointing to 'F' indicates a full tank, while 'E' means empty. The position of the needle shows the percentage of remaining fuel. The digital version of the Lavida displays this information more clearly, making it more intuitive than traditional needle gauges. I recommend developing the habit of checking the fuel gauge before refueling, and it's best to fill up when the gauge reaches one-quarter to avoid damaging the engine's fuel pump due to low fuel levels. For daily refueling, using standard octane gasoline can extend the system's lifespan. As a side tip, always check the fuel gauge before long-distance driving to ensure safety and peace of mind.
