The method to adjust the Lavida's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as follows: First, start the vehicle, then use the menu toggle button on the multifunction steering wheel to view the average fuel consumption of the vehicle. After that, click the plus button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel to see the instant fuel consumption displayed on the central control screen. The Lavida is an A-segment car independently developed by Shanghai , with dimensions of 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. In terms of exterior design, the car features Volkswagen's traditional grille and a U-shaped front face. The front face design of the Lavida significantly differs from previous A-segment models under the Volkswagen brand, especially with its unique teardrop-shaped headlight design.

I've driven a Lavida for eight years, and adjusting the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is actually quite simple. First, start the vehicle without shifting gears, just keep it powered on. Pay attention to the control buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, especially the one with left and right arrows, as it's used to toggle the display. Press the left and right arrows a few times, and the small screen in the middle of the dashboard will cycle through the display content. Stop when you see the average fuel consumption reading, which usually shows a value like XX liters/100 kilometers. If you can't find the button, some older models have a small protruding button at the bottom right of the dashboard for this operation. Additionally, note that this value reflects your recent comprehensive fuel consumption—it will update after driving a few kilometers post-reset. Keeping an eye on the fuel consumption value during daily driving can also help you develop fuel-saving habits, such as avoiding sudden acceleration and braking.

Last week, I just helped my cousin adjust the fuel consumption display on her new Lavida. The operation isn't difficult. Make sure the car is running and the dashboard screen is lit before switching. Locate the directional buttons (up, down, left, right) and the OK confirmation button on the right side of the steering wheel. Press the left/right buttons repeatedly, and the screen will cycle through items like mileage, instant fuel consumption, and average fuel consumption. The one labeled with 'L/100km' is the average fuel consumption data. If the switching feels sluggish, remember not to press other buttons simultaneously. To reset the fuel consumption data, long-press the OK button for three seconds on the average fuel consumption screen to clear it. I recommend avoiding frequent checks during rush hour traffic jams—seeing higher fuel consumption can cause unnecessary anxiety. Actually, the Lavida's urban fuel consumption is quite economical, usually around 7-8L.

For the Lavida, the quickest way to check the 100km fuel consumption is a two-step process: Turn the key to power on, then press the left/right toggle button on the right side of the steering wheel until the dashboard displays the average fuel consumption and stops. For older models without steering wheel buttons, look for the small black button on the side of the dashboard and press it repeatedly to toggle. Key points to note: The engine must be running, and the reading is accurate only at idle. If the display shows zero, it might be because you haven't driven enough distance since the last reset—drive at least 5 km. Occasionally, data errors may occur due to disconnection, but they usually resolve after driving for a while. By the way, a difference of up to 1 liter between the displayed value and actual fuel consumption is normal, so don't overanalyze it.

I remember when I first bought the Lavida, I also spent quite some time looking for the fuel consumption display. After starting the car, first look at the dashboard and press the button on the right side of the steering wheel marked with an arrow (usually in a square area with left and right symbols). Each press switches the display item—press it a few times until you see the average fuel consumption data. Instant fuel consumption shows real-time changes, while average fuel consumption reflects the comprehensive value per 100 kilometers. Here’s the key point: if you notice a sudden increase in fuel consumption, check whether the tire pressure is too low or the air conditioning is set too high. Maintaining a steady speed of 60-80 km/h in daily driving is the most fuel-efficient, and the Lavida can easily achieve 5L/100km on the highway. I make it a habit to reset the fuel consumption record every month—just long-press the OK button to reset it.

As a Lavida owner, I'm often asked how to check the fuel consumption. It's actually quite intuitive. After turning the key to the ignition position, simply press the left or right directional buttons on the steering wheel control area. Each press cycles through the dashboard display items until you reach the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Some models require driving to switch displays, but the Lavida allows this operation while stationary. Friendly reminder: Fuel consumption readings may appear higher during cold starts in winter, but will normalize after warming up the engine for a few minutes. Regularly monitoring this value can help optimize driving habits, such as reducing sudden braking and anticipating traffic lights. Routine of spark plugs and air filters also contributes to lowering fuel consumption figures.
