17 Display Vehicle Specific Data
18 Alarm Changeover (continuous v. intermittent) 19 LOCK/UNLOCK all functions
20 Correction Factor for OBC Fuel Consumption (SEE BELOW!) 21 Reset all defect codes, date and time ... activate by pressing SET/RES
Note: #20 the factor is used to correct the OBC Avg Fuel Consumption figure to reality .. if your OBC is off a bit ... fill UP totally ... run tank down and refill ... calculate your Actual MPG ..
Now enter test 20 get the old Correction Factor .. NEW CF = OLD CF *(Actual MPG/OBC MPG)
enter the NEW CF using the numeric kays and hit SET/RES to store ..
PLEASE record you OLD CF so that IF you screw up you can always go back to what it was .."
