On board Computor

Post by isisalar »

I have spotted a few references to on board computers giving fuel consumption figures etc on Xantias and they are often advertised as a feature. I haven't found one on my HDI exclusive mk2 and yes I have RTFH.
Can anyone throw any light on this? Were they a cost option or standard on some models only?
Kind regards
Paul

Just a WAG but try pressing the button on the end of the washer stalk with the engine running.
If I am correct then it will cycle through the computer options.

I'm just bracing myself to go out to the car now. I'm pretty sure that is the HRW switch though.

No on-board computers on any Xantias I'm afraid Paul. That was something reserved for the XM but...

Thanks Jim. That's cleared that up then.
The thing that prompted me to ask the question is that an HDI has been advertised on autotrader today with a 'trip computer' and I'm sure this isn't the first time I've seen this.

That's a case of a dealer telling porkies then Paul :twisted: We all know what some dealers are like with the truth.. A bit like HDi fuel consumption: economical... :roll:
