Showing Mpg On Screen?

Featured Replies

I just bought a ford fiesta (switching from a renault megane) and would like ot know how to get the MPG to show up on the screen between the rev and speed meter?

Or if it is even possible?

I have a fiesta 2010 reg econetic edge



Does it not tell you in the owners manual?

On the end of your indicator stalk, you have the info button and this should switch your display to show MPG, Miles until Empty, average speed and trip.

If you want to reset any of those (apart from miles until empty) then you hold the info button in until the display shows minus'

My indicator stalk doesn't have a button to push in like the wiper one.

My indicator doesn't have "Trip" stamped on it or a button.

I guess there's no way for me to do it :(

I wonder if there's a way to get it from the OBD2 port

The Edge model won't have it I'm afraid. There may be a way through the "secret menu" (videos on Youtube) but would have to be done every time you start the engine.

That's a shame - I'll look into the secret menu.

As well as looking up if its possible to retro fit it in.

Don't you have a small black button on the instrument cluster? Iirc, it's to the lower rhs of the rev counter. This also cycles through the menu and resets the counters. I've got this and the stalk button in my zs for some reason.

It has the small black button, but it only cycles through two screens, Total miles and Miles since resent.

Have you followed a tutorial on retrofitting? can you link it please

There are no tutorials that I'm aware of, don't think anyone has ever attempted it. Would involve changing all the dials then getting Ford to program the mileage to the new BCMii, which would be costly if they'd even agree to attempt it.

Ah that's a shame - kinda strange that an eco designed car wouldn't let you show MPG.

Oh well no big deal I guess.
