    Default How To Change Calibration for L/100km and Trip Distance??

    Does anyone know how to calibrate the amount of fuel used for a perticular fill up. also the trip distance calibration. i used to do these on the VT but cant seem to find it on the VZ. ultimately doing these will make my speedo correct and the L/100km more accurate.

    In the VZ if you hold down "SET" FIRST as well as the "UP AND DOWN" Buttons while on your Trip mode on the speedo this will reset your trip to 0.00km as well as reset your L/100km and give you a reading according to the current trip.

    out as in the in actual speed at an indicated say 100km/h is really 97km/h?

    this is in just about every car, think its manufacturers way of overing their ass kinda thing..

    motor used to do a speed at indicated 100km/h in their test's..most cars were 3 or more km/h under indicated speed.

    My speedo is out by about the same amount too, and always put it down to the reason you just gave. But I've always wondered whether this difference has an effect on the odometer? My speedo seems to be about 3 or 4 percent above my actual speed (used GPS to find actual speed), so is my odometer 3 or 4 percent higher than the actual km's it's been driven?

    the book says it doesnt alter the odometer just the trip and fuel consumption
