How to display fuel consumption on the Volkswagen Polo dashboard?
4 Answers
Switch the display using the function buttons on the vehicle's multifunction steering wheel. During the switch, not only will the vehicle's average fuel consumption appear, but also the tire pressure display and information related to the vehicle's range. The adjustment is very convenient, and by comprehensively viewing the vehicle's fuel consumption, you can understand the vehicle's usage. Specific details are as follows: 1. The Volkswagen Polo is a small hatchback model. The model years currently on sale are the 2019 and 2021 versions. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a manual transmission or an automatic manual transmission. 2. The vehicle's body length is 4053 mm, width is 1740 mm, height is 1449 mm, and wheelbase is 2564 mm. The vehicle's body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback.
I just became a Volkswagen Polo owner not long ago, mainly using it for city commuting, so fuel consumption is my biggest concern. After starting the engine, there are several buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, usually the arrow keys next to the volume buttons or the one labeled 'View'. Press it, and the small screen in the middle of the dashboard will switch display content. Press it back and forth a few times to find the fuel consumption data, which generally includes average fuel consumption (Avg. L/100km) and current fuel consumption modes. The average value is the comprehensive fuel consumption over the recent distance, while the current value shows real-time fuel usage. When driving long distances, checking the average fuel consumption more often can help optimize driving habits and save some money. The first time I used it, I was a bit nervous, but the operation is simple and easy to get used to. Just remember not to operate it while driving—safety first. By regularly checking this data, I've found that smoother acceleration leads to lower fuel consumption, saving money and being more environmentally friendly.
I've been driving my Polo for almost three years, often on suburban roads, and checking the fuel consumption display has become my daily essential skill. After starting the car, locate the button area on the left side of the steering wheel, press the toggle button with an arrow (usually near the volume controls), and the screen content will cycle through different displays. Press it a few times, and the fuel consumption data will appear. The average fuel consumption calculates recent mileage, while the current consumption shows real-time instantaneous fuel usage. I recommend checking while driving, not while stationary. At first, you might find the screen too bright or slow to respond, but this is usually due to lighting conditions - it becomes very convenient once you're used to it. I always glance at the average fuel consumption before each trip - accurate data helps me refuel less and save money. If the fuel consumption numbers seem high, try easing off the accelerator and avoiding sudden braking, which can effectively reduce fuel costs.
As a new driver, I just learned how to check the fuel consumption feature in my Volkswagen Polo. Simply put, after starting the car, use the buttons on the steering wheel—press the one with an arrow on the left a few times to switch the display. The small screen on the dashboard will show fuel consumption numbers, divided into average and current readings, with L/100km indicating the fuel consumption. From my experience, gently pressing the accelerator results in lower fuel consumption, and checking the average on the highway is more reliable. The operation is quite simple, making it suitable for first-time car owners.
