switch MPH / KPH

[erics]

does anyone know if there is a procedure to switch from MPH to KPH on the v12v (or other astons for that matter)?

The electronic speedo that is.

All my other cars have / had this. I went through owner's manual and can't find anything along these lines.

Would be usefull when travelling to Europe.

Yes there is. I think you have to press the T1/T2 button and the trip button on the end of the left hand stalk at the same time.

Ah! I will try this.
I was sure there was some sort of trickery along these lines.
Oh so British!

It is in the manual I think.

Hold Read, and press the button on the end of the left stalk for a few seconds - the one you use to change the digital display.

Cheers mate. Wasn't sure if it was the "Read" or "T1/T2" button

watch your speed in france I hear they can be quite strict
and simply saying soree in a french allo allo accent doesnt help

I think T1/T2 has something to do with parking the wipers?

No... nor does telling them you were going that quick because its so easy!

No sense of humour.

I thought that was pressing 6 and 8 together?

It is the Read button and the end of the stalk button simultaneously to change the display, have to keep them depressed for a couple of seconds.. You can do it whilst moving but a bit of a faff, useful when you need to know how many miles left in a tank, vs the distance to destination showing on the TomTom.

From memory its 8+9 to park the wipers

Ah, i could not get mine to work on the JLC tour (switch to kph). I wasn't holding them down for long enough maybe, all I got was something about the phone/blueteeth/other things I don't care about.

So far as I recall Yeti doesn't have a any means to accurately gauge 5 seconds!

Well that's your own fault, for being so grumpy when I wandered over at the Hotel at Beaune to do it for you. Something to do with you having a bigger priority, trying to find you keys but you'd lost your contact lenses so could see fk all anyway....
