When in the menu settings interface, press the OK button on the steering wheel to enter the submenu of the currently selected item for related settings. Toggle the OK button on the steering wheel to switch the display content of the trip computer interface. Select 'Average Fuel Consumption' to display the average fuel consumption for a specific period.

When I first got my Haval Big Dog, I also looked into this. There's a row of buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. See that menu button with a horizontal bar? Press it once, and options will pop up on the instrument cluster. Use the down button to scroll to the driving information section, where you can select either average fuel consumption or instantaneous fuel consumption. Actually, that historical fuel consumption statistics is quite accurate. Watching my daily commute fuel consumption changes, I've now developed the habit of gently pressing the accelerator. After setting it up, it will default to displaying the last selected fuel consumption data upon next startup. Remember to reset the data after refueling for more accurate readings. Also, if the salesperson didn't set it up properly during delivery, you can add the fuel consumption display to the instrument cluster widgets through the vehicle settings on the central control screen.

Checking fuel consumption is super easy, no need to flip through the manual. After ignition, simply press the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel, then use the up/down buttons to select "Driving Information" when options appear on the instrument cluster. Personally, I prefer viewing long-term fuel consumption data as it better reflects actual driving habits. The dashboard can simultaneously display tire pressure and remaining range - extremely useful for road trips. One detail to note: Higher fuel consumption readings during cold starts are normal; it stabilizes after driving about 2km. Last time I noticed a sudden fuel consumption spike, it turned out to be caused by low tire pressure. The car's instrument cluster allows customized displays, so setting fuel consumption as a permanent display is very convenient.

Three simple steps to operate: Ignition → Press the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel → Select the fuel consumption display in the driving information. Beginners are advised to check the average fuel consumption, while experienced drivers might find instantaneous fuel consumption more interesting. Actually, the Haval Big Dog's fuel consumption algorithm is quite intelligent, automatically adjusting reference values based on driving modes. The data is most accurate in Eco mode, while Sport mode tends to show slightly higher values. Last time on a mountain road, the instantaneous fuel consumption spiked to 15L during uphill climbs but returned to around 8L on flat roads. The dashboard display area can accommodate four data points simultaneously; I often keep fuel consumption and remaining range displayed together for easy reference.

Locate the button with a list icon on the right side of the steering wheel, and press it lightly to bring up the driving data menu. It's recommended to set the average fuel consumption as a permanent display, so you can check the fuel status at a glance while driving. I've noticed that running the air conditioner at high settings can increase fuel consumption by about 0.5L, which is especially noticeable in summer. The data from the instrument cluster's trip computer is more real-time and accurate than the central display, particularly when observing instantaneous fuel consumption changes in traffic jams, which can remind you to avoid sudden braking. Once set up, it will automatically display every time you start the car without needing to repeat the operation. If you can't find the button, holding down the menu button for three seconds with the engine off will reset the display module.

Start from the button area on the right side of the steering wheel, the square one with horizontal lines is the menu button. After pressing it, a blue menu bar will pop up on the left side of the dashboard. Use the directional keys below the volume buttons to select driving information. There are five fuel consumption data options available, and for daily driving, it's recommended to keep the last 50 km fuel consumption displayed. I've tested this data and found it very reliable, with an error margin not exceeding 0.3L. Here's a hidden tip: long-press the OK button on the fuel consumption display interface to reset the statistics. Additionally, during aggressive driving, the fuel consumption display will turn red as a warning, while normal driving shows green prompts—a quite thoughtful design.
