mpg display

[chewbacker]

hi
is there a way of getting instant mpg displayed on my dash as most cars have this but meane 2's don't seem to

[tomalamix]

yes, it have that. just roll over the total miles, mpg, etc etc menu and you will find one with the instant mpg.

cheers

yeh but you can reset it and use it for current travel

UK versions (imperial MPG) don't show instantaneous consumption, where as European Meganes (Metric L/100KM) do, weirdly.

[chewbacker]

have been using average mpg but wanted to know if it can be modded as the car must work out instant mpg to get the average.

something to do with the calculations/conversion formula used. don't know why renault didn't put it in when other manufacturers do. maybe lack of space onn uch to store the code

[tomalamix]

the UK cars doesnt have that feature? didnt know that..

well, if is important maybe is worth a try. with the CLIP software or an universal OBD computer you can choose an other type of units to be used, in this case the SI un its, maybe that way you will have that feature available.

What if you change the instrument panel readout from mph/miles to km/h/litres which you can do by pressing button 3 or 4 on the end of the wiper stalk and start button for about 10 seconds it will change to km/h would this then give the instant litres/per km? just an idea

Worth a try... How do you change it back to miles tho?
If it doesn't work.

Just do the same it will then revert to mph/mpg, its a system for when driving abroad.

I tried that on my Megane, didn't work.. may be programmable via CLIP according to the workshop manual though as there are a few parameters which can be set on the dials.

Nice to know but worth a try, might try the clip next time round
