It should always start with what you left it with.

Mine doesn't, it always starts with a blank screen each time the engine is started and I have to turn the knurled knob to select a "topic" from the OBC, be it average mileage, miles left to run with fuel in fuel tank, etc etc. To be honest I don't know if it can be changed to permanently read one "topic" when the engine is started.

Mine used to be blank on start up and you had to scroll into the respective information pages. From memory I think the "kmhr' was retained. I quite liked the plain clutter-free display.

Agree with tt82 mine always starts where I left it. Usually in instantaneous fuel consumption which is best option for me.
