Great. And you don't have to unlock the OBC or do any of the TESTs to put your scale back to gallons instead of liters. You can do that right on your MID.

Press the BC button on your MID (located on the lower right button)...and you should see a prompt on the far right to change the scale. In the image below you can see the L/KM (liters/kilometers) prompt (next to the SET button). Yours should say something else (like gal/miles) since you have liters/kilometers selected. If you press that button, it should revert back to gallons/miles. \


The display for your OBC is the MID (not the display in the instrument cluster). To control/set/reset/start/stop any OBC functions, you do this with the buttons on the MID. The BC button on the turn signal stalk only allows you to program OBC features to appear in the instrument cluster...so you can call them up (as a fringe benefit). You can't control any of the OBC features with the turn signal stalk...because the display in the cluster has first priority to the Check Control system. That's why any Priority 1 or 2 warnings from the Check Control system will wipe other info from the display. If you leave your lights on and shut down the engine, or leave your keys in the igntion and open the door etc...or you have any warning/prompts from the Check Control System...they take over the display in the cluster to let you know what's going on. And only after clearing them can you go back to displaying other info there.

Hope this makes sense.
