Keep both buttons pressed in then it will display your current speed in kph. Don't have to be driving to do this tho more to the point of it.

Also to add onto another post above that the MFD is always on it's just the backlights that go out when the ignition is off/lights off.

there is a mod somwhere you can wire in to the MFD so it can show the speed all the time as well as other things like oil temp and RPM, saw it in a mag once, however hant seen nething since :(

i think the other stuff that comes on is just technical data regarding the mfd or somthing else vauxhall will use not sure
id say ask vauxhall but they probably wont say, trade secret

my ibiza has a simmlar fuction press 2 buttons on the climate control gives u a secret menu, altho no one knows what all the values mean, i have asked seat and they wont tell me.
