[EURO] Multi-Information Display on 06 Models

As far as I know, there is no option to set the time interval at all, it's not in the car manual also. I've checked the settings, and nothing is there for us to control the time interval for it to update.

Holding down the reset button on the dash is almost the same as holding down the SEL/RESET button on the steering wheel, it just resets trip A (if you are currently Trip A) or trip B (if you are currently on Trip B). Only thing I can think of is to reset the ECU? or pray that there is some kind of fix for this. I dunno, maybe I'll leave it for Honda to do when I go in for a 10,000km service.

What does yours show when you go on a freeway for more than an 1hr+?

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary -- but then I tend to watch the instantaneous fuel consumption or the average fuel consumption rather than the average speed. I'll have a look...

I don't know if I'd complain about the average speed. My reading gets up to 56 km or so but I'm driving at 110 km/h on the freeway for half my journey.

The beauty of it is that if you are ever pulled over then you could show the officer the time you've been driving and the average speed and you know the story - computers don't lie so they may be lenient.

Agreed the average speed doesn't move at all, mine's at 28kph and steady. The distance to empty feature is not very accurate either. It seems to be ok for 3/4 of a tank but after that it drops rapidly, like you travel 1km but the distance to empty drops by 5km.

Distance to empty seems to work fine for me. One thing I've notice is that it depends what figure your L/100km is that will most likely determine your distance to empty. Say for instance, you start/stop inconsistently, and you get a reading of say 11L/100km, that will obviously give you a lower figure for the 'distance to empty' than if you were going at 10.0L/100km which you will end up with a higher distance to empty. I always monitor my L/100km and Distance to Empty and notice it does affect how many kilometres you got left before going empty. So all in all, it doesn't really matter if you are going 1km or 5km, it all depends on how efficient you are running the car. However, I do notice it does take some time for the 'Distance to Empty' to recalculate, so don't expect it to change within 1km.

I'm currently getting a constant reading anywhere from 9.8L/100km to about 10.2L/100km. Highest I ever got was when i was using some shitty fuel and i was getting a whopping 11.4L/100km :thumbdwn:

I have the mathematical concept down just fine thanks...

Obviously the more fuel you are using then the less distance you can travel...

What I was refering to is when I am travelling at a constant (or close enough) speed, without stopping, I will be using less than or again, close to my average l/100km. Therefore the distance to empty should at the very least be reducing on par with the distance I travel (with some safety margin I'd assume). This is particularly so if my average fuel consumption is static throughout the tankful.

Perhaps the whole system is flawed? But definitely mine updates quite regularly, and the distance to empty reduces quite markedly versus distance actually travelled.

Given that you said you were travelling at a constant speed with a static L/100km for that particular trip, then yes, it should be on par with the actual distance you have travelled. My 'distance to empty' does reduce on par with the actual distance travelled.

I guess the multi-information display feature in the 06 model is not as perfect as we all want it to be. I think we should all address this to Honda so that they can at least release a fix or something. One thing for certain is that our 'average speed' don't really seem to be working as it should be. I will definitely get them to rectify this without a doubt :thumbsup:

I recently purchased a Euro luxury model and wanted to know whether anyone can see the 'speed alarm' option in the set up menu of the multi information display. I can't see it and all I get is 4 choices compared to 5 shown in the manual.

Honda doesn't it even mention 'for some other types' in this section. I was thrilled to see 'speed alarm' when reading the manual and was really disappointed not seeing it in the car! Same goes for the one button to bring in the side mirrors. Why can't they just make a specific euro manual, it sucks seeing all the fancy features and not finding it in the Euro.

BTW I think the options mentioned by DJcloud is for adaptive cruise control (cool feature) which is not present on our Euro as we don't even have the ACC button on the steering wheel.

Thanks.

Adaptive cruise control is for JDM Accords. Same for the speed alarm.

mine's like 33km/h, and i never seen it change :(
we should get speed alarm, damn useful for people like me *red p* :P

dont forget the speed monitor also adds into the fact that you might be sitting at lights for a while, so if yuor sitting at 0km's for 2mins, then driving at 70km, average is down to 35km, but i think ur all right, it must take a certain amount of time to update, i think mine sits around 38 - 40km mark
