How to Display the Average Fuel Consumption on a Polo?
2 Answers
To switch from instantaneous fuel consumption to average fuel consumption, simply operate the instrument panel function button of the vehicle. Pull the door handle to open the driver's door and enter. Start the vehicle. Press the instrument panel function toggle button until the average fuel consumption appears on the screen.
Honestly, checking the average fuel consumption on my Polo is super easy. After starting the car, there's a multifunction button area on the right side of the steering wheel—just gently press the up/down arrow or the small 'OK' button. The menu on the instrument cluster will jump to the trip information section, and with a few toggles, you'll see the average fuel consumption figure, usually displayed as 'L/100km' or 'Average Fuel Consumption.' I remember once when I wanted to monitor fuel consumption during a countryside trip, I was surprised by how effortless it was—it even lets you check mileage and remaining fuel at the same time. Once I got into the habit, I'd glance at it before every long trip to remind myself not to floor the accelerator, since high fuel consumption wastes money and harms the car. I recommend new drivers give it a try—if you can't find the buttons, just flip through the owner's manual. Most Polo models are similar, making it a safe and practical feature.
