I looked around but couldnt find anyone mentioning this!
its one of the first things i did when i got my 2005 cmax.. its a cool lil trick.
putting your car into test mode
with the key out. push and keep hold of the reset button on the indicator arm. put key in and start car still keeping hold of the reset button. after a couple of seconds. the display in the centre of your dash will display test mode.
let go of the reset button. and the car will do a guage sweep (all the dials will go to maximum then reset)
then pushing the reset button cycles through the different modes.
just pushing it does a few things like led test (all lights on dash light up) and pushing it a few more times will get you a "road speed" which is an awsome digital speedo! really responsive. and you can tell how much your actual speedo is out by on the higher speeds (50+)
pushing a few more times will give you a digital rev counter.
then pushing more just displays random rubbish. its safe to use you cant change anything in it. and to put your car back to normal just turn the engine off and take the key out.
hope you all have fun with the new digital speedo you didnt know you had
