615 miles and it's flashing

My mileage display started flashing today (on 615 miles). To be completely honest I can't be 4r$ed to RTFM so wondered if anyone might know why?

I first thought it might be related to 'Range' because the petrol gauge showed around 1/4 to 1/3 full (although I didn't count the actual number of 'blocks'), but when I switched to 'Range' it showed enough for 125 miles, so it can't be that.

By 617 miles it was still flashing, so I switched off and back on and that cured it (ie. the display stopped flashing).

Any ideas?

Do a search on proxy alignment or proxyalignment and all will be revealed. Happens on other models too so search the whole forum.

Thanks y'all!

To not RTFM is one thing, but to not search the forum is much more serious - oops!
