mileage reading

Postby owen » Thu Jan 19, 2012 8:03 am

hey guys, this is a pretty lame question, however it's been bugging me for a while now. I have two liberties. 1 shows ur standard L/KM but the other one gives a KM/L reading. is there any way to change this? any help would be appreciated :)

With the ignition on (car not running), hold the info button the steering wheel down until you see a menu on the info display. Cycle through the options and you should come across a units setting. Can be changed there using the up/down arrows also on the steering wheel.

cheers for that, but the one I'm trying to change is the auto 05 GT..it doesn't have an info button, just the up and down for shifting.

Don't quote me on this but i think this was raised some time ago and it appears that its the difference between the pre and post face lift models.
So in ur case the 05 and 07 models will be different and u can not change this.

many people seem sure that facelift models are showing l/100kms, but then there are some that claim their 04s and 05s are showing l/100kms and some that have post facelift models showing km/l.. :?
