Country code, checking
- switch ignition OFF
- press reset button and hold
- switch ignition ON
- release reset button
- push function selectors switch and hold until end of selections

COUNTRY CODE DISPLAY:

If instantaneous speed is displayed, - check average fuel consumption (0 MPG) display
If instantaneous speed is NOT displayed, - check function selector switch

Note

Speed must be displayed on speedometer.

If speed is displayed on speedometer, - repair break in wiring using current flow diagram

If speed is NOT displayed on speedometer, - check speedometer sensor

Function Selector Switch:
