Control stalk, operated by pressing the trip buttons up or down, and pressing the ok/reset button on the bottom of the stalk. You can switch between the two trip meters by hitting the ok/reset button. I'm scrolling through the screens by pressing up and down on the trip button.

Miles until empty
Image


Current trip meter (note the 1 in the corner this designated the instant trip meter that will reset itself if you leave the vehicle alone for a few hours, the #2 trip meter will need to be reset manually by holding the ok/reset button.)
Image


Average speed (designated by the theta symbol ø)
Image


Speed warning - to change press the ok/reset button
Image


The speed will then be highlighted
Image


Press the trip button up/down until you find the desired speed. Press ok/reset to select the speed. You will now have an audible tone when the warning speed is met.
Image


Trip time meter
Image


Instant MPG (obviously nothing since my engine was not running) Varies greatly while driving, personally I pay attention to the average instead.
Image


Average MPG (again designated by the theta symbol ø)
Image


Yes I realize my dash/gauge cluster is dirty. I'll follow up shortly with the advanced setup options.

Hold the trip button up or down for around 3 seconds and this menu will pop up
Image


Select setup (you now have the ability to change these parameters)

First Convenience: Door Open - single door/auto. close/auto. open - allows you to change if both or just the drivers door opens with one press of the key fob, you can also disable the autolock feature (30 mph I think) or disable/enable the auto open feature when you turn the car off. ATA - on/off - determines if the horn sounds when you lock the car with the key fob. Convenience mode - off/all/driver - allows you to set which windows, if any, open/close when you use the key to unlock/lock the drivers door and hold it in that position. Mirror adjust - both mirrors/individually - allows you to adjust both mirrors at the same time or adjust them individually. Factory setting obviously brings everything back to default.

Lights and Vision - Comfort indicator - enable/disable the 3 blinks when you tap the turn signal lever.
Image


Time - Hour/minutes/12hr/24hr - Allows you to display a 12 or 24 hour clock and to adjust the time.
Image


Winter Tires - on/off/+ 5mph/-5mph allows you to adjust the speedo for winter tires of different than stock diameter.
Image


Language - pretty straight forward - allows you to select different languages there are more than what I took a picture off but they're characters (chinese/japanese).
Image


Units - allow you to change between degrees F and C and between GB miles US miles and KM

Special Thanks to djwhiplash2001 and DUSlider for filling in the blanks for the settings I didnt know

*Special Note* Convenience - door open - if you unselect single door (selected by default) not only will all of your doors unlock with one button push on the key fob but your rear hatch will unlock as well.

Winter tire setting warns you when you go too fast with winter tires on. Nothing to do with speedo.
