12.5 - 99.3MPG?

Hi Guys

Driving back from Manchester yesterday I noticed that the average MPG readout on the instrument display was scrambling all over the place with differing readouts. The range was between 12.5 - 99.3?. Left the car over night thinking that it would reset but no such luck. Any ideas? Shocked

I know I'll probably get the standard reply - RTFM Whistle

But I haven't got a manual with me......

Mine just cycles through: miles / range / mpg / mph / blank

Just to confirm what Nick says, the operation of trawling through the info display is the same using the button on the end of the stalk, but the 'instant' fuel was added later for MY10 and onwards.

Thanks Guys!

You were right, it was the 'instant readout' that was being displayed. I did not know such a thing was included. Mind you I have only had the car for 15 months Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed
