Interesting Bits Inside Your Euro..

[tron07]

i rolled into the servo the other day with 1Km left on my distance until empty on the screen. When i filled up the bowser got to 58 litres and clicked out. So i still had approx 7 litres in the tank when it said i had 1 Km left...interesting.

Just thought i'd share

There is another thread talking about the lowest people can go on the trip computer.... I went down to 0km before.

Remember, not many petrol station pumps will fill it all the way to the top at 65L. Most are sensitive and cut out before it reaches the max 65L.

How do the pumps detect the fuel tank is full? Back pressure back to the pump? Or is there a sensor in the tip?

Pressure I reckon.... With the Astra, Mobil pumps don't stop and overflow! LOL

that happened to me with my civic once, it splashed all up my arm and I smelt like fuel all day. not fun lol

I wander if the trip computer shows -1km, -2km etc.. if you go below 0km. Surely there's a few Litres of reserve.

It should stay at zero... Jeremy Clarkson would be amazed that the Euro can drive on fumes. hahhaha.

Hidden Settings on 07+ Limited Tourer!

I was looking for a way to adjust the clock on my 07 Tourer, after giving up on googgling/searching around the manual/asking ppl on the forum. I decided to play around in the car and just SIMPLY TRY THE GOOD OLD WAY - HOLD DIFFERENT COMBINATION KEYS.

This only applies to the Sat Nav Euros. Not sure would it work on pre-2007 models. Guys please test it and let us know.

Turn the key in the ignition so the Sat Nav Unit Starts,

HOLD "SETUP"+"MENU"+"CANCEL" FOR 3 SECS.....





and Select "Function Setup"





There are lots of cool stuff on it as well!

Like:
"Tire Calibrate" - Shows Tire offset details.
"Car Satus" - Shows lots of differet stats, battery, GPS, engine, etc.
