Hi does anyone know how to activate Turbo boost gauge in central binical display!!
I test drove car 500x 2.0 litre 4x4, the other day was amazed to see there is oil temp and even a volt meter?!?
Quietly impressed with kit it is one of Opening Editions but on a 16 plate so is it one of the later ones?!?

I think one way, is to just put in Sport mode. My 1.6 diesel automatically comes up with the turbo boost gauge.
I often use the Turbo boost gauge when towing. It is great for predicting the best time to change down a gear when on inclines. At a steady speed of X as the incline starts you can see the boost rising. When you get to around 2/3rds this is the ideal time to drop a gear and thus head off running out of steam and then loosing momentum/speed and then having to change down and push the car harder to get back on track.
The other guage in Sport mode is an accident waiting to happen. It is the G Forces gauge

Now that's one toy I won't bother looking at

Thanks folks, guess there are more Toys on this Opening Edition I am going for!!
One option I wish it had would have been a heated screen & seats aka Winter Pack,not sure about steering wheel?!?
I guess I am off subject but Salesman doesn’t think it has reversing camera not sure if it did or didn’t???

As others have said...turbo boost shows when in sport mode.
Mine doesn't, just the parking sensors, but no camera. Can't say I'm really bothered about heated seats and steering wheel
I have the "Winter Pack" and it combines nicely with remote start, which begins heating/defrosting automatically if the temps are below 6°C. Thanks to that, I never had to sit in a cold car this winter.

No need for a Winter Pack. It wasn't even an option when I was ordering the car.
21ºC here today... it was a cold day

I drove an opening edition in October 2016, 10 months later I bought a 2l cross at9 (with spare wheel, comfort and safety pack inc camera). I thought there would have been more equipment on the opening edition than there was.
I knew in the first few hundred metres of driving I didn't like it, the ride was rock hard, so I put the matter on ice till the right spec became available. I was also unsure about the colour, I do prefer the other red which at that time was standard.
Shame you werent here last August - November. Motorpoint had about 20 2.0l at9 cross models in either red green or blue, all 66 reg all delivery miles. About 7-10 of them had spare wheel, comfort pack, and safety pack but werent advertised as such, they didn't realise. Only £12,999, but then as stock ran out I saw them drop to £12,699, and the last one was advertised at £11,999.
