How to Display Speed on Volkswagen?
3 Answers
To display the speed on a Volkswagen, follow these steps: 1. Open the driver's door and press the brake pedal to prepare for engine start; 2. Press the start button, and all dashboard lights will illuminate, indicating the engine is running; 3. Press and hold the button at the top of the lever on the right side of the steering wheel for more than 5 seconds, and the digital speed will appear on the dashboard. Taking the Volkswagen Lavida 2017 1.6L Manual Fashion Edition as an example: It is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan under SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, a wheelbase of 2610mm, and equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission.
The speed display in my old Tiguan is controlled by the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. Press the button with the directional symbol on the left, then toggle up and down to navigate to the driving data interface. Use the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel to confirm, and you'll see the digital speed. If it doesn't respond, try turning off the engine and restarting—the infotainment system might occasionally freeze. After adjusting, remember to set the speed limit reminder; it's safest to keep an eye on the display and not exceed 50 km/h when driving in the city.
Last time I drove my friend's brand-new Lavida, I also fiddled with this. His car has a digital instrument cluster, and there's a button called VIEW on the right side of the steering wheel. Pressing it repeatedly switches between different display modes, with the sport mode directly showing a super-sized digital speed. To change the unit, you need to go into the vehicle settings on the central control screen. It defaults to kilometers but can be adjusted to miles. Important reminder: you must stop the car completely to change the settings!
