How to set the range of Trumpchi GS4?
4 Answers
The odometer of the Trumpchi GS4 can be found in the lower right corner of the instrument panel. The trip odometer is used to record the mileage of a day or a certain interval. To switch, press the DISP button on the right side of the steering wheel to toggle between trip odometer, driving time, and average fuel consumption. In the single-trip mileage display mode, hold the zero/adjustment button SET for more than two seconds to reset the single-trip mileage (trip odometer) display value to zero.
Actually, the range of the Trumpchi GS4 is automatically calculated by the vehicle based on the current fuel level and fuel consumption, without the need for manual input of specific values. But if you want it to be more accurate, here are a few things I usually pay attention to when driving: reset the trip data before highway driving, so the system can recalculate the remaining range based on current road conditions; maintain a steady speed and avoid sudden acceleration, as stable fuel consumption leads to more reliable range display; also, I reset the data before turning on the heater in winter, since the air conditioning consumes a lot of fuel. The most intuitive way is to watch the long bar with the fuel pump icon in the middle of the dashboard—when it turns red, it's time to find a gas station, similar to how a phone's battery indicator works.
I've been driving the GAC GS4 for over two years now, and I've learned that you can't rigidly set a fixed range value. The vehicle's system is actually quite smart—it calculates the remaining mileage based on the fuel in the tank and the recent average fuel consumption. The trick I've figured out is to long-press the TRIP button on the left side of the steering wheel to reset the fuel consumption data after each fill-up, allowing the system to resample. Switching to ECO mode on the highway can reduce fuel consumption by over 1 liter. Also, remember to maintain tire pressure above 2.3 bar; insufficient tire pressure can increase fuel consumption by 0.5 liters per 100 kilometers. I check the range display on the central screen every day during my commute, and the error is usually within 20 kilometers.
A new owner of the Trumpchi GS4 who just picked it up last week tells you that the range is automatically calculated by the dashboard. There are control buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to bring up the trip information interface where you can see the estimated mileage. For more accurate data, it is recommended to reset the single-trip fuel consumption data after each refueling to allow the vehicle to recalibrate. Maintaining a steady speed of 60-80 km/h is the most fuel-efficient, while flooring the accelerator or sudden braking will cause the range to fluctuate. Tire pressure and air conditioning temperature also affect the fuel consumption display. Reducing the fan speed before a long trip can add up to 30 km to the range.
