Tried this with my 04/97 Acclaim.
Using all three buttons will set it permanently with no flashing light.
Using two buttons will set it temporarily with flashing light.

Apologies if this is already known.

Yeah,the ones that can be set permanent can be set to either mode,(permanent or temporary).The ones that wont set permanent will only set temporarily with the light flashing..

I'm thinking early units will have a different switch block then the VS - So maybe later models have a different PCB inside with different configeration that allows the the digital speedo to stay on.

I know for sure that it will set to permanent on some VR's and not on others,and also on some VS's and not others.It doesnt seem to matter if the car is an early VR or a late VS,some set and others wont.Im determined to find out why.
