How to display average fuel consumption on the Classic Sylphy?
3 Answers
Adjust it using the small black button on the right side of the dashboard. The actual fuel consumption of the Classic Sylphy is around 8 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are some factors that affect fuel consumption: 1. Road conditions: Different driving roads result in varying engine power losses, leading to differences in fuel consumption. 2. Driving habits: Different driving habits of owners can also affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. 3. Load conditions: Although the load capacity of a car like the Sylphy is not high, this factor still impacts its fuel consumption. It may not be noticeable over short distances, but over 100 kilometers, the difference can be significant. Generally, driving alone for 100 kilometers consumes about 0.5 liters less fuel compared to driving with a full load for the same distance.
I always drive a classic Nissan Sylphy for my daily commute, and checking the average fuel consumption is quite simple: After starting the car, there's usually a button labeled 'INFO' or 'TRIP' on the right side of the steering wheel. Press it a few times to cycle through displays like speed, instant fuel consumption, and so on. Keep pressing until you see the average fuel consumption figure. My Sylphy is the 2012 model, and the small screen is right on the dashboard—just try a few times and you'll get the hang of it. The average fuel consumption tells you how efficiently your car is using fuel, helping you adjust your driving habits to save money. I usually keep mine around 6.0L/100km. If the button doesn't respond, it might be stuck or a setting issue—try operating it when parked for safety. Don’t forget to reset it periodically to get fresh data. On long trips, I also use this to monitor any abnormal fuel consumption, ensuring the car runs smoothly.
I learned this from the owner's manual: To check the average fuel consumption on the Classic Sylphy, mainly use the steering wheel buttons. After starting the vehicle, press the 'INFO' button to cycle through the display contents, including the average fuel consumption value. The specific steps are: After ignition, without pressing the accelerator, press the button two or three times, and the screen will display different indicators in sequence; just find the average fuel consumption. The average fuel consumption calculation is based on trip data, and it's more accurate when I drive the manual transmission model, usually fluctuating between 5.5-7L/100km. Remember to perform this operation while stationary or idling to avoid distraction while driving. If it doesn't display, check the button circuit or the fuse. I had the button replaced once at the 4S dealership, and it worked perfectly afterward. Regularly checking this data can prevent sudden fuel consumption spikes and malfunctions.
