Hello good people. My battery was flat due to lack of use, The rescue service started the car an I have just took the car for an hours run.

On the display instead of the digita speedometer it it showing other info, eg mpg etc.

If i press ok it says " hold OK to reset all computer trip 2 values "

Am I ok to do this ? I don't want to cause any more trouble. I feel an idiot was needing the rescue service in the first  place.

Thanks in advance

In this instance computer says 'yes'.

Thanks Milkman, I've done that and got my digital speedometer back.

One more thing, I took the car for a longish run on Friday to charge the battery, however today upon opening the door before starting the car I got the message " turning system off to save battery "

Does anyone think my battery is on It's way out The car isn't 3 year old yet. Thanks in advance

if the battery is flat its best to charge it up with a proper battery charger for the type of battery you have fitted it will take many hours of driving to get the battery fully charged.

many garages and auto parts stores halfords being one will test the battery for free if you ask at 3 years old it could be good or it could be toast if unsure get it tested 

Thanks cjay1, I ahve run the car a few times for about 30 mins + each time  and thought the problem had gone. However the message popped up again.

Apparently my rescue service won't come out again for 28 days for the same problem. So I'm torn between getting a new battery or the charger you advised., or both.

With this virus self distancing everthing is difficult.

Thanks for the reply
