MFD - Secondary Speed Display

Post by ayc1985 »

Hi all, on the MFD there is a white line with your speed showing on it (mine is in KM). Does anyone know if you can change what it shows? For example If i want the speed in MPH or some other statistic?

If you look on my photo its the bit that says 0 KMH, can this be changed? I looked on the menu and all I can see is the unit menu to change in US (which I wouldnt do)

Sorry if this has been repeated!!

Thanks in advance.

Given there is no KMH on the main speed dial, maybe it's just there if you intend to take the car to a country who's speed limits are in KMH (Most of Europe!)

Basically It's a safety feature! Not a big deal although I thought it would be nice to have something else on there to save me scrolling through the various pages.

Although the French dude seems to have changed it (maybe the UK specs are not changeable.)

thanks guys

Nobby hasn't changed it he states his is a european model, this comes with the 'alternative speed display' feature (the brief instructions) which he mentions & as Alan mentions later is not availabel on uk spec cars.
