The remaining fuel level of the Volkswagen Lavida is displayed on the dashboard. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Lavida as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, a wheelbase of 2688mm, and a trunk capacity of 510 liters. The 2021 Volkswagen Lavida features a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power of 110kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The fuel level display of the Volkswagen Lavida is located on the dashboard. While driving, you can easily glance down to see the scale bar with a fuel pump icon, where the pointer indicates the remaining fuel level. The newer models with LCD dashboards directly display the remaining mileage, while the older versions use a pointer-style gauge, but both are quite clear. I usually pay attention to the fuel gauge while driving and make it a habit to refuel when it drops to a quarter, especially before long trips. Once, I almost ran out of gas midway, and since then, I've developed the habit of checking the fuel gauge first when getting in the car. When the tank is full, the pointer stays at 'F,' and reaching 'E' is dangerous. If the yellow warning light comes on, you should find a gas station immediately. The fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling, and prolonged low fuel levels can shorten its lifespan.

I've been driving this Lavida for five years, and the fuel gauge is embedded in the speedometer circle at the center of the dashboard, with the tachometer on the left and the fuel gauge on the right. The glowing orange needle is particularly eye-catching when the lights are on, and pointing to the red zone means it's time to refuel. Recently, I noticed that the fuel gauge sometimes wasn't accurate. The mechanic said it was an issue with the fuel tank float, and after replacing the sensor, it worked normally again. I recommend regularly checking the sensitivity of the fuel gauge. Also, using different grades of gasoline might affect the accuracy of the remaining mileage calculation, especially when mixing fuels, as the display can be off.

The fuel level indicator of the Lavida is located on the dashboard directly in front of the steering wheel. The circular fuel gauge has an 'E' marked on the left and an 'F' on the right. When the needle approaches the 'E' line, a yellow fuel pump warning light will illuminate on the dashboard, indicating there are about seven to eight liters of fuel left, which can roughly cover seventy to eighty kilometers. Last month, my neighbor didn’t pay attention to the fuel gauge and suddenly stalled on the highway, resulting in a rear-end collision. Therefore, it’s essential to habitually check the fuel level display when starting the car to avoid unnecessary trouble. If the fuel gauge shows abnormalities, inspect the fuel tank sensor or fuse issues.
