Speedometer Error - Help

Hi everyone,

Am new to this forum and happy to be here. Anyway I have a problem with my speedometer readings and would be most grateful for any help. The digital speedometer reads about half the speed indicated by the analogue needle. For example when the analogue needle is reading 120mph I get a display of 60mph on the digital I can tell the analogue needle is reading the correct speed cos it feels nothing like 60. Does anybody know what could be causing this? No fault codes showed up last time I was at the dealership.

You need to change the digital reading from KM's to MPH in the command center.. it's under Instrument settings, you will need to find it in your manual...

Thanks. But actually the digital is set in mph for sure. Infact I changed it to Km/h and back to mph in the command center just to be sure. But same effect...120mph on analogue, 50 or 60mph on digital. And even if the digital was set in km's I guess 120mph on the analogue should read even more on the digital at about 190km's. I dropped it off at the dealer this morning but as at the close of day no codes had been picked up.
