changing setting on the trip computer

hi guys,

just signed up today, will do an intro thread once i have taken some pics of my car lol,

quick question i couldnt find in a search, can i change the settings on the trip computer in MY04 gt liberty? at the moment it shows consumption as KLM per Liter, i want it to read liters per 100 KLMS like every other car ive driven, is it possible?

You can't change it sadly (From what I understand). Talk to Tangcla, he hates the fact it can't read L/100kms

.

They changed it to L/100kms in the MY05's onwards.

Huh? I'm pretty sure mine has L/100km and its an 04

Yes I'm annoyed that the ECU says km/L instead of L/100km

I was told by my tuner that he can do it with a different ECU flashing cable. I'm waiting to see if he can do it or not.

yeah a guy at work has an 04 outback and his says L/100klms as well, in the manual it says that all right hand drive vehicles have L/100klms except aus delivered models.

Later 04 (aka MY05) onwards have L/100km.

We got jibbed

I will probably get it tuned before he gets the cable. I'm not too fussed about it, just practice working out reciprocals and arithmetic

more on this, today as i got in the car the sun was coming through the back window, this was shinging on the trip computer so i could see all the lights that could be displayed, there is a L/100klms light there, im sure it should be changable some how!

Yes the panel is the same between the two. It's a configuration error, apparently it can't be changed by Subaru.

Dam so that means my car is really using more fuel then I think.

1 kilometer / l = 100 l/100km

So, mines using just under 11l/100km, too high?

when i drive i like to enjoy my drive and concentrate on driving and driving alone.. i dont need to sit there doing mathematical conversions in my head.. I DO NOT COMPUTE! hahaha.. i'm so down for switching it..

yeah lukey im around 10-12L/100km

Ah cool, and you're non-turbo yeh?

I don't mind too much, people worry too much about what is potentially a few dollars difference at the pump. But I'm more concerned that somethings wrong if its using more fuel, not about it for economy reasons.

But if yours is around that too then I'm not too worried

hahah no in a GT.. that 10-12L/100km is me driving conservatively to a degree..

Same here, those figures equal conservative driving. If I was interested in economy then I would have bought another Civic like my wifes.
