gfxdave99 Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 I noticed that when you try to teach somebody to drive stick after about the 10th time they kill it the cruise light starts flashing If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippinRoo Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 i get mileage readout and the gas gauge shows the level <sigh>... not the button on the instrument cluster... I know that one shows mileage and gas gauge... I'm talking about the button on the trip computer that I would normally press to flip through my MPG, Avg MPG, Miles to Empty, etc while driving the car. The button (at least on my car) is labeled "DISP". The clock stays on for a little while after I turn off the engine, but later it turns off. The DISP button turns on the clock display for a short time without the need to turn on the ignition.

RippinRoo Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Yeah, I'm at 28.8 right now, 30.0 overall But wait, just to double check, we are talking about the Avg. MPG display right? There are two. You have two Avg. MPG displays? You mean "A" and "B"?

Molal24 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Explain 26.1... If it actually went in increments of .3 he would see 26, 26.3, 26.6, 26.9.... My MPG display doesn't go in increments of 3 either though. No, if it was from 19.8, you would see 20.1, 20.4, 20.7, 21.0, 21.3, 21.6, 21.9, 22.2, 22.5, 22.8, 23.1, 23.4, 23.4, 23.7, 24.0, 24.3, 24.6, 24.9, 25.2, 25.5, 25.8, 26.1, 26.4, 26.7, 27.0 That's why he sees 19.5, 19.8 and 26.1.

My MPG display doesn't go in increments of 3 either though. ... OK, try this... start with 0, then add 0.3. Take that result, add another 0.3. If you know how to add, you'll find that you cannot get to 26.0. Instead, you'll get to 26.1 ...

RippinRoo Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Ok, well I started at 26 because I have seen that on my car... To be clear, this is a "feature" of the trip computer that comes with the Leggies that don't have the Nav option... I have no idea what the Nav computer shows...

exarus Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Ok, well I started at 26 because I have seen that on my car... You probably misread it. Take a pic next time it gets to 26.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS5689 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 You probably misread it. Take a pic next time it gets to 26.0. Yea, it's possible. Im probably gonna reset it and check it out because now I'm curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouar Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 You have two Avg. MPG displays? You mean "A" and "B"? I think he's referring to "instant" versus "average" MPG indicators, both of which are displayed simultaneously on the '07+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 My fuel consumption meter seems to have a maximum value of 50l/100km. It ends up to something like 4.7mpg. Achieved on first gear on a cold engine with a fair amount of throttle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartg Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 :spin:If you know how to add, you'll find that you cannot get to 26.0. Instead, you'll get to 26.1 ... Or divide... 26.1 / 0.3 = 87 and I can confirm the nav units instant mpg display can display any decimal, not just increments of .3. Also, when you get below 10 miles the fuel range reads '---' eventually it just goes blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanahjoe Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 In Navi equipped cars, when you change the hour for the time, the display on the trip computer takes about a minute to get updated. I noticed this when turning off DST and then seeing that my trip computer was still on the old time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shet Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I was reading the Legacy 2009 manual and it indicated that a steady CEL light means something is wrong with the emission control system. But I did not get the case of when the CEL light is blinking (as opposed to steady). Would anyone be knowing the difference between a steady and a blinking CEL light? Would it be safe to keep driving with a steady CEL light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molal24 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I noticed that whenever I wash my LGT on a nice beautiful day, the next morning I wake up and it's pouring rain. Then after I'm pissed saying I just wasted all my time washing her the day before, I tell myself why wash her again today? It's just gonna rain again tomorrow according to the weather. And guess what, it will stay nice and bright out for the next 5 days or until I wash her up again...Anyone else run into this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B. Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Math fail. The three you mentioned are all incrementals of .3. obviously i was thinkign decimal placement not over all division. ie .** not 26.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
