How to Display the Water Temperature Gauge on Lavida?
3 Answers
The older models of Volkswagen Lavida do not have a water temperature gauge; only the newer models are equipped with one. To display the water temperature gauge on the newer Lavida models, use the up and down buttons on the steering wheel wiper control to switch between different displays on the trip computer, such as water temperature, remaining mileage, average fuel consumption, and driving speed. Gradually adjust until the water temperature gauge appears. Here are some details about the Lavida's water temperature gauge: 1. The water temperature gauge displays in digital form. It is located on the multifunction display of the instrument panel. Typically, a temperature of 90 degrees Celsius is the normal operating temperature for the engine. 2. The symbol for the water temperature gauge resembles a weather forecast wind speed indicator. If the warning light for the water temperature gauge stays on or flashes while driving, it indicates that the coolant temperature is either too high or too low. In such cases, you should stop the vehicle and check the engine, adding coolant if necessary to lower the temperature.
After driving for so many years, I find the process of checking the Lavida's water temperature gauge quite straightforward. First, start the engine when you get in the car, but don't drive off immediately. Then, look at the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel and press the one labeled 'Menu' in the middle. After that, rotate the scroll wheel left or right to find the 'Instrument Display Settings' option in the displayed list. Once you enter this option, you'll see the water temperature gauge switch—just turn it on. The normal water temperature should fluctuate around 90 degrees. If it's higher, the engine might be overheating, and you should stop to check if the coolant is sufficient. If it's lower, it could affect fuel consumption. At first, I was always worried about missing this step, but now I've developed a habit of glancing at the dashboard before starting the car to ensure everything is normal.
As a young car enthusiast, let me explain the steps to display the Lavida's water temperature gauge: After starting the car, immediately use the multifunction button on the left side of the steering wheel. Press the menu button and scroll to the 'Custom Dashboard' option. Once inside, find the water temperature indicator option and enable it. Soon, the temperature reading will appear on the small screen on the right. Remember not to aggressively press the accelerator to heat up the engine when the temperature is below 80 degrees. If it gets too high, immediately slow down and stop to check for issues. Occasionally adjusting the settings can also help you familiarize yourself with the car's functions.
