Trip computer: switch from km/L to L/100km

As you know, the center info panel above the head unit shows the time, and a switching info pane for fuel economy, outside temperature and elapsed trip time.

The 04 model has kilometres per litre, whereas the 05+ has litres per hundred kilometres.

Does anyone know of a way to switch between the two modes? I've looked at the panel and the LCD is the same for both 04 and 05 models.

Try asking a dealer they would most likely know.. Or the obvious answer which is the manual (you didnt mention it so maybe you havn't checked!) If you don't have one let me know and I'll have a squizz at it.

no, I haven't looked at it, I was told by someone that it's controlled by the ECU, and since it came standard on the MY05+ I thought it was a non-changeable option.

Calling dealer now...

Just got off the phone with the service department at Subaru Glen Waverley - they say that there's no way to change it over.

I think an ECU reflash might resolve it...

I enquired about this ages ago when I first got my car, and was also told that it couldn't be changed.
