Where to Check the Fuel Consumption of Geely Emgrand GS?

Fuel consumption display can be accessed by adjusting the left button on the instrument panel. Introduction to Fuel Consumption: Fuel consumption is divided into average fuel consumption and instantaneous fuel consumption. Average fuel consumption refers to the amount of fuel used per unit distance traveled by the vehicle, commonly measured in liters per 100 kilometers, or fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Instantaneous fuel consumption indicates the fuel consumption at a specific moment, displayed in 'liters per 100 kilometers' when the vehicle is in motion, and in 'liters per hour' when the engine is running but the vehicle is stationary. Methods to Save Fuel: Drive at a constant speed, control the vehicle's speed appropriately, and avoid sudden braking; do not open windows when driving at high speeds, as this increases fuel consumption; regularly check tire pressure to ensure it is correct. Both under-inflation and over-inflation can increase fuel consumption.
Checking the fuel consumption of the Geely Emgrand GS is actually quite simple. I often use this feature while driving. After starting the vehicle, there is usually a multifunction control button on the left side of the steering wheel. Pressing it once will switch to the fuel consumption display area on the dashboard. It shows either average fuel consumption or real-time fuel consumption, measured in liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km). A reading between 7 and 9 is normal, and it can drop to around 6 on highways. Fuel consumption is greatly affected by road conditions—it spikes during traffic jams but saves fuel on smooth roads. I recommend making it a habit to check this and also regularly inspect tire pressure: insufficient tire pressure can increase fuel consumption by 10% to 20%. Also, change the engine oil when it ages to keep the engine running efficiently. In the city, try to press the accelerator lightly and avoid sudden acceleration, while using cruise control on highways is the most economical. Fuel consumption will be slightly higher when using the air conditioning in summer, but the Emgrand GS is generally tuned for fuel efficiency. I’ve been driving it for three years and am quite satisfied.
I just got my Emgrand GS driver's license, and checking fuel consumption was one of the first things I learned. Before driving off, don't rush—first locate the 'INFO' button on the steering wheel, press it lightly, and the dashboard will switch to the fuel consumption page. Usually, the average fuel consumption value is displayed in the center, measured in L/100km. As a beginner, my consumption fluctuates between 8 to 10 liters, which my instructor says is normal—no need to worry. Many factors affect it: for example, short trips can lead to higher consumption because the engine hasn't fully warmed up, while highway driving is more fuel-efficient. So, I record and compare fuel consumption changes during weekend trips. Also, don’t overlook tire pressure checks—low pressure is not only dangerous but also increases fuel consumption. I use a tire pressure gauge every two weeks. Maintaining a steady speed is crucial too—reducing braking frequency effectively saves fuel. I haven’t tried monitoring consumption via an app yet; I find the dashboard display the most intuitive and convenient.
