The thing that looks tree , is it like a post with a diamond shape on the top? If so that indicates a reset point . So the numbers show data from this reset point , the data shown is as follows , Distance travelled , Average fuel consumption , Average speed .

You really need to get yourself an owners manual so you can get the info' you need , and you will have to reset after a battery disconnect .

I'm not sure the best way of going about getting a replacement , I' m sure they will be available through the Dealer (at a price!) The net will be the best option ... there maybe some info' in the "Search" function in this forum . If that fails try googling to see what's available on the net.

IIRC kfk posted a downloadable (.pdf) copy of the owners manual here a couple of weeks ago.

This sounds like your average fuel consumption to me, i.e. 20.6 litres per 100 km.

 

Push the button in on the end of the wiper stalk and hold for 3 seconds to re-set all the data gs fan mentions. You can alter the units (from km/h to MPH for example) by pressing the right hand button next to the dispaly screen, when in reset mode (hold left hand button in for 3 seconds until display flashes).

 

By the way, 20.6L/100km sounds terrible, hope the reset starts to give better readings!!

I take it that you are not in the UK.

 

Over here, our "normal" unleaded petrol is 95 RON, and that is OK for petrol engined C5's. Don't know whether they can run on 91 in other countries. I think it is important that you find an owners manual and check it carefully.

damn i think im gonna buy a user manual, i cant close my driver side window now T.T any tips?

yes im from australia, cause google c5 faults then i found this good web:)

What is the problem with the window ? Is it going up part way and then going back down? Mine does this a lot. I have found stopping it (with the switch) just before it reaches the point at which it will go down and then starting it up again will work , or, send it fully down and then send it back up. The anti pinch mechanism probably needs adjusting when I have time/can be bothered.
