Click consumption then press the little dot in the bottom right (or is it left) corner to change language

FYI there are 3 different modes.. one is KMH and consumption in L/KM or something like that and the other is MPH and MPG but temp in degrees F, i dont remember what the 3rd is off hand but its not MPH, MPG and degrees C tho if memmory serves..

also if u didnt already know u can press the 1 and 1000 buttons together to get a display of how much fuel is in the tank. theres also another 2 buttons u can press to display something else but im not sure what it is. i think its the 10 and 100 buttons, dont remember off hand but it then displays "typ X" X is a number so must be something to do with build type or something like that? displays typ 6 on mine if i remember correctly.

dont know if any of this works on the 9 button OBC tho.

MPGs, M/G, and L/KM are your three choices. Choose MPGs to read in MPH instead of kMH.

"Typ X" Refers to the coding plug that the OBC is calibrated with. You must have the same coding plug in both the back of the OBC and in the front of the instrument cluster for the mileage function to be accurate(ish)...


DMCL, what is the 9 button OBC you speak of? I've seen both the six and thirteen button models over here in the US, is there also a 9?
