Default The return of "English English"

So, ever since I have had my car I have had the rather charming message on the central console saying "Hood Ajar" whenever I open the bonnet. I always thought that "Hood Ajar" could also be the name of the Swedish man who made my car!

Just noticed the other day when I opened the bonnet that it now says "Bonnet Ajar". Can only assume this was at last software install which was at last service which is at least 9 months ago now. Can't believe it has taken me this long to notice.

So on one hand I feel that the replacement of American-English with English-English is a very good thing. On the other hand I feel very sorry for Mr Hood Ajar. Maybe he got sacked.....?
