On the same subject, and at the risk of telling thousands of people what they already know ..... My 1992 9000/9000CS Owner's Manual tells you how to select the units used by the electronic gubbins. This is the sort of thing you are unlikely to find by accident. -------------------------------- Selecting the units To select the desired combination of units, depress the INFO and R buttons simultaneously and hold them depressed for at least four seconds. Each time the buttons are depressed, on of the four following groups of measurement units will be selected: * litres/100 km, kilometres, †C * MPG (US gal), miles, †F * MPG (imp. gal), miles, †F * MPG (imp. gal), miles, †C -------------------------------- Seems that Americans who like †C and continental Europeans who like †F are out of luck. When I bought my UK spec SAAB it was set to US gal. and appeared to be giving quite dreadful MPG - low to mid 20s. Fortunately I found the section in the manual after a couple of weeks. Given that fuel in the UK is now sold in litres but we show distances in miles, I wonder if some people might prefer the following settings to be available: * miles/litre, miles, †F * miles/litre, miles, †C These would take some getting used to, but have a certain logic in this wonderfully hybrid Kingdom.
