Reading odometer without starting engine

Hello,

I've noticed that once the engine is switched off, the odometer reading turns off too. To see the odometer again, I need to actually start the engine. Is there anyway to get the odometer reading without having to start the engine? In traditional cars with a key, I would had turn the key to the "reds" or "on" position (without cranking the engine) and the reading would had come up. Since, the FL2 doesn't have a traditional key ignition, I can't figure how to get to the "reds"!

Thanks.

Hold the start/stop button without pressing the brake pedal.

Ive just been out and tried mine,
Just press the trip reset button briefly and the display comes up.
No need to have the fob in the ignition.
Dont know if thats the same for the australian build ones though but worth a try.
