How to display fuel consumption on the Volkswagen Tharu dashboard?

[IsabelaLynn]

Volkswagen Tharu's fuel consumption data can be viewed on the trip computer screen in the middle of the dashboard. You can switch to this data by using the buttons on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel. The Tharu is a compact SUV under the Volkswagen brand, equipped with two types of engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The Tharu model with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is a four-wheel-drive version, featuring a multi-plate clutch central differential, MacPherson front independent suspension, and multi-link rear independent suspension.

The dashboard display of fuel consumption in the Volkswagen Tharu is actually quite convenient. I often use this feature during daily driving. The operation is simple: first, ensure the vehicle is ignited or the engine is started, then look at the button area on the left side of the steering wheel. There is usually a button labeled ‘View’ or ‘Info’—pressing it will cycle through information on the small screen in the middle of the dashboard, such as speed, mileage, and the fuel consumption option. Fuel consumption is divided into two types: instantaneous and average. Instantaneous fuel consumption displays real-time changes based on throttle input while driving, while average fuel consumption is a cumulative value, better reflecting overall efficiency. When switching, you need to wait a moment for an icon representing fuel consumption data to appear on the screen. It’s best to operate this function under safe conditions, such as pressing the button while stopped at a red light, rather than getting distracted on the highway. I find the Tharu’s design very user-friendly—the fuel consumption display helps me monitor my driving habits and estimate remaining fuel during long trips. Regular checks can also indicate whether the vehicle needs maintenance to maintain fuel efficiency.

From a technical perspective, the fuel consumption display of the Volkswagen Tharu is integrated through the vehicle's computer system, offering intuitive operation. During my usage, I observed that it connects to the engine control unit to calculate fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. The specific steps are: use the multifunction buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, typically marked with an arrow or an 'OK' button; press it to bring up the dashboard menu, then navigate left or right to find the 'Fuel Consumption Info' or 'Driving Data' option. The screen will display instantaneous values (reflecting current throttle changes) and average values (based on accumulated historical driving data). If you customize the settings, you can also choose to display the fuel consumption interface by default in the infotainment system. After operation, the data is displayed clearly without obstructing the driving view. It's recommended to practice frequently to familiarize yourself with the button locations; the Tharu offers a good user experience, accurately monitoring fuel efficiency to help adjust driving habits and save costs.

New Volkswagen Tharu owners don't need to worry, checking fuel consumption is easy. When I first started driving, I also figured it out: after starting the car, look at the button area on the right side of the steering wheel. Press the information toggle button, and the dashboard screen will display different content. Press it a few times repeatedly to see fuel consumption data, such as average fuel consumption displayed in L/100km units. It's safer to operate when parked. The Tharu's system is intuitively designed, with fast fuel consumption updates, helping you understand your fuel usage.

With safety in mind, the fuel consumption display of the Volkswagen Tharu is thoughtfully designed. When driving at low speeds or while parked, I can press the 'Info' button on the steering wheel to instantly switch the dashboard to show fuel consumption data, displaying either instantaneous or average values. This helps avoid distraction risks. The Tharu's interface responds quickly with clear digits; combined with other features like remaining range, it allows for predicting refueling points. Just remember not to operate it on bumpy roads—once familiar with the button placement, it's very convenient.

As a Tharu owner, here are the steps I took to measure fuel consumption: After starting the engine, press the View button on the steering wheel, and the display in the center of the instrument panel will change options. Press the button multiple times to find the fuel consumption section, usually displayed as average consumption in numbers. When driving in the city, my fuel consumption is around 8L, and it drops a bit on the highway. This helps me optimize my driving habits to reduce fuel usage. The Tharu's menu switching is simple, and the design is practical and cost-effective.
