Hi guys, don't know if this was mentioned before but I will write it anyway...

I will show you hot to completely turn off ESP on vito without steering wheel buttons.

First of all, you need to turn the ignition key into position 2.

- then press and hold ''0'' button on the right for about 30 seconds
- you will hear beep sound
- press shortly ''M'' button several times until you get to the inscription ''roll test''
- press ''+'' button once
- ABS, ASR, BRAKE and ESP lights will pop up on the screen
- start the engine
- after that you wont be able to see anything on the screen except ''roll test on'' ( see picture above )
- If you want to turn it back to normal mode, just press ''-'' and turn off the engine.


Drive carefully and do this at your own risk!

Hi ya, the display can be altered but only with a star machine as the menu needs changing from english to german, this is one of those real clever things that they did so that on the uk version you can not have mph but in every other country you can, go figure

Cheers Martin

p.s it bugs the shit out of me too

I am sorry guys - my mistake. Seems you can't change kmph to mph. You can change the odo from km to miles by pressing m repeatedly till you get to odo, then press r to toggle miles/km. Similarly you can change outside temp from f to c by pressing m repeatedly till you get to temp display and then press r to toggle f/c. You can also toggle between trip or speed diplay by holding m in for a second or so.
