Hi guys (and gals),

I'm new here. Just got my 2003 ulysse for about a month now. It's a petrol 2.0 litre unit. Am enjoying it. However, I'm not too comfortable with the tripmeter display which shows "miles" instead of "km". Does anyone know how to convert the display into "km"?

FYI, I took the ulysse to the dealer and the answer I got was a perplexing "Oh, it's like that when it came, it cannot be changed...". I'm sceptical as even the owners manual diagrams show "km"...!?

The car (or should I say MPV) is otherwise fun to drive...as long as you steer away from traffic jams. I was caught in one recently and the fuel gauge seems to "slide" at a surprising rate...it sure is thirsty when it's crawling in traffic (how does 8 litres per 5 miles sound like? - any body care to comment?)

That's all folks. Would appreciate if somebody can enlighten me on the "miles -> km" conversion enquiry.

happy driving

If the trip computer is the same as the Stilo's you can access that function by pressing the mode button.

Thanx for the reply Les.

I'm afraid it isn't the same as the Stilo. Just to clarify though, the display i'm referring to is the one behind the steering wheel, not the one in the middle of the dash. the mid-dash display is already in kms, but only the total cumulative distance travelled, it doesn't show the tripmeter. Well, I'm learning to live with it though. Look at it this way, everytime i'm in the ulysse, I get to do mental arithmetics now! Still, if it's in kms it'll be so much more convenient.

Hi,

I would go back to the dealer, it is probably something they can program in the body computer in about 5 minutes.

Now if only they could program the body computer to make the screen work as a DVD as well. Lol.... I still await a reponse from Fiat UK about that! That eBay car has it - I want it as well.....

Buzz,
Just got back from Keramat (our service centre in Malaysia) the chief there said unfortunately even the body computer cannot change it to km. Seems like we are gonna be good in mental arithmetics.....
