Hi Marek,

wow, that's the first time I see this, indeed. What are you doing exactly in order to cause it?

I guess it gives you the possibility to reprogram the BC, e.g. for Miles and Miles per Gallon, rather than Kilometres and Litres. Additionally, you may probably be able to readjust the maximum distance calculator?

Best regards

To set miles, gallons and so on in BC are specially switch in back side. This is something else, this numbers and symbols are strange and i don't know for what is it.
If You want see it You must remove the fuse and insert them like I did, then press the button to change something.

How did you find it out?

Bastian

So you can check and adjust some functions of the board computer.


Normally, you don´t have to cut the fuse. To get into the adjustment mode: Turn ignition off. Push the "reset" button at the bc- lever and keep it pushed. Turn ignition on. Release the "reset" button: Now you are in the adjustment mode.
You can select your area (EU, Canada, USA, Saudi Arabia, Japan, GB), display some different indications and you also can tune the consumption indicator, as it doesn´t display proper values.

@Bastian: Hatten wir damals schon im deutschen Bereich. Angleichung der Restreichweite, siehe RLF.
