i'm trying to access the 'operating principles' via the computer.

to turn the automatic locking on, i need to access the option with the key symbol. option number 5 i think.

i'm pressing the stalk button until set/info is displayed but then i only get the check/ info option and i can only change the time and date etc. how to i get thru to the other options???

i'm losing the will to live fast an i've only had the car since 10 this morning!!!! argh!!!

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

good you worked it out...from memory, i believe the ignition needs to be on before you can access the menu system opens up......the manual is full of great info - if in doubt, refer to it!

Hi Momo59.

how did you manage to get through the options - I can only get the settings for the
date and time also and I've had mine for 2 WEEKS!!

You can feel better - its not just you !!!!

As I too discovered after struggling with this problem, you need the ignition on. Pity the handbook doesn't say so.

ignition on first before you can access the other options - ignition on - by pressing the starter button without depressing the clutch!! equivalent of turning a key to position1....enjoy!

It is a bit tricky to get the hang of it!

Arrrgghhh. Me too (but then I've only had it since yesterday

). I was trying after pressing the stop button, so I probably need to fiddle some more.
