Fista displays average fuel consumption method: There is a button on the right side of the steering wheel, similar to the pattern of two sheets of paper. Press it a few times to bring up the fuel consumption data. Fista is a brand under Motor, equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 204 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 Nm. The Fista's dragon-scale mesh grille and other features highlight a strong sporty feel, with dynamic body lines and a fastback design that fully embodies the style of a coupe. The oval-shaped dual exhaust pipes at the rear further enhance the sporty look. The front face still adopts the family-style grille, with slightly curved daytime running lights on both sides of the lower part, which look very attractive.

I've been driving this Fista for over three years, and checking the average fuel consumption is one of my most frequent operations—it's quite straightforward. Just touch the cross-shaped button on the right side of the steering wheel, press the right button to switch to the vehicle information interface, then use the up and down buttons to find the fuel consumption display. Two numbers will pop up in the center of the dashboard: one shows the fuel consumption for the current trip, and the other displays the long-term comprehensive average, both measured in L/100km. In city traffic with frequent congestion, it can go up to 8.5, while highway cruising can bring it down below 6. I remember when I first got the car, the fuel consumption was alarmingly high, but it stabilized after the first . By the way, aggressive driving will spike the fuel consumption instantly—once I was in a hurry and drove aggressively, only to see the instantaneous value hit 12 when I got home. Now I've developed a habit of checking the average fuel consumption weekly, and I can also take a look at the tire pressure monitoring and remaining range—the design is quite user-friendly.

Just helped a friend adjust the fuel consumption display on his Fista a couple of days ago. There's a button resembling a steering wheel symbol among the row of buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. Pressing it switches the menu below the instrument cluster. Navigate to the 'Vehicle Information' section, then use the directional keys to find the page with a fuel tank icon – that's where the average fuel consumption is displayed. Noticed a detail: the fuel consumption value flashes for a few seconds during cold starts and only stabilizes after the engine warms up. For regular city commuting, it shows around 7.8L/100km, significantly higher than the official 6.2L/100km rating. Later, we tested maintaining a steady 60km/h on a national highway and surprisingly achieved 5.9L/100km. Actually, monitoring this data reveals driving habits – sudden acceleration makes the numbers spike, while anticipatory braking can save considerable fuel.

The fuel consumption display adjustment for the Fiesta is mainly located in the steering wheel control area. Briefly press the cross key near your right thumb to switch items, and you'll know you've got it right when the dashboard shows a page with a small oil can icon. This page displays two values: the left shows the average fuel consumption for a single trip, and the right shows the cumulative comprehensive value. Once, I reset the data before a highway trip, used cruise control the entire way, and felt a great sense of achievement when it showed 5.7 upon exiting the highway. During daily school runs for my kids, traffic jams during peak hours often push the number above 9, and using the AC adds another 0.5. A tip: don't rush to check the reading right after a cold start in the morning; wait until the water temperature reaches 90 degrees for an accurate measure. Found a trick: Eco mode saves at least 0.8 more fuel than Sport mode.

When I first got the Fiesta, I spent a long time figuring out where the fuel consumption display was—turns out it's hidden in the steering wheel shortcuts. After starting the car, press the right arrow key on the right side, and a menu pops up in the middle of the dashboard. Select the third page with the L/100km label to view it. The key is to focus on the long-term average—mine currently stays stable at 7.2. At one point, it inexplicably rose to 8.3, but I later found out it was due to low tire pressure. In practice, opening windows for ventilation saves more fuel than using the AC—the difference in summer can be around 0.6. If the number suddenly spikes, remember to check the air filter and spark plugs. By the way, resetting the fuel consumption data is simple—just hold the OK button in the middle of the arrow keys for three seconds.

A friend driving a Festa asked me how to check fuel consumption, so I demonstrated it personally: After ignition, without pressing the accelerator, directly operate the arrow-marked button on the right side of the steering wheel, press it twice to switch to the vehicle status page. When you see the fuel tank icon and numbers appear in the middle of the dashboard, that's the average fuel consumption, which changes in real-time. The actual fuel consumption of this car is highly dependent on driving habits; I can keep it at 7.3 by gently pressing the accelerator, while my wife's driving pushes it up to 8.1. I once achieved 6.2L on a full highway trip, but the most surprising was during a long downhill with energy recovery, showing an instantaneous value of 3.8. The displayed value is quite close to actual measurements, with less than 0.3L discrepancy per tank, so it's reliable for reference.
