Re: Driving tips to charge battery better.

Hi,

A brand new car will need to be run for a while to get the engine etc 'run in.

I have had a 70 mpg (on the A5 in Wales)out of mine, and a 69 over a 2x44 mile mainly motorway run.

It is really learning how to drive it, mainly a light touch on the accelerator.

Peter.

digital speedometer

Hi,

Does the Niro 2 have a digital speedometer (as a result of a switch somewhere)?

I have looked in the instruction book, and it is shown, but not how to change the display.
