Button on the wiper arm
« on: 06 March 2009, 15:52 »
I have no manual for my car and I was wondering what the different readings mean when you press the button on the end of the wiper arm stalk???

I tried to search but I'm not coming up with anything.

Thanks . . . . again!

thats the mfa button...it gives various readings like mpg,oil temp,distance travelled,average speed and outside temp (to name a few). you'll notice theres 2 settings on a slide switch that gives single journey details and overall (since reset)

Oh ok, thank you, I think the reason I didn't click is it says by the little screen something like l/1000km or something, its all in km?!?!

Yeah, you can get the digital speedo on all of them. I can get it on my CL and the GL. Both don't have the MPG ect. Could that be put in?

mmm, I'll put a pic up, knowing how to get the digital speedo up would be really handy seeing as my speedo doesn't work. . . . or would it not work this way either?
