MFD

[Guest001]

I think when your phone connects you'll end up on the BT/Phone screen anyway.

Yep mine does that and only if I turn Bluetooth on in my Iphone. Dont do it and it always stays on the digital speed reading.

What does p+++ me off is when you hit your overspeed setting and it wont cancel itself and you have to hit the button all the time.

When it was new, the MFD behaved very strangely. It would randomly switch to all sorts of screens. Even settings, once.

That's exactly what mine does now. How'd you rectify this?

Also the rear wiper will give an intermittent wipe while driving forward if the auto wipers are wiping continuously for a set amount of time/strokes.

That's what mine does. Freaked me out when I noticed it the first time as I was like, hey, I don't have the rear wiper on?

Nope. I get a message on my touch screen stating "Connect to Phone" I hit OK and then the MFD switches (at random) to whatever it feels like. Actually, about 70% of the time it switches to the radio screen (which is what I have it on when I turn the car off), but about 30% of the time it just switches to something like fuel consumption on the MFD. It's doing my head in!!!

I can't really recall my MFD misbehaving at all (doesn't mean that it hasn't - just that I haven't noticed it!). Mine always starts on the item it was last on when ignition is turned off.

My overspeed warning stays on for a few seconds after speed has dropped below the set speed and returns to whatever it was displaying (mind you I've not tried all combinations - my MFD is usually set to either average fuel consumption or range 'til empty).

I didn't know about the auto rear wipe when selecting reverse. Surely it would only do this if the rain sensor has 'sensed' rain on the windscreen? That said, I usually have my wipers in the 'off' position, as there is something about the lighting in the car park at work that seems to set the wipers off if I leave them in 'auto'! Other than that, my rear wiper works pretty much as redline3345 described.

regarding rear wipers, with the liftback, the rear wiper will auto wipe if the following conditions r met:-
1. front wipers r in the '2' or '3' position (not '1' which is auto)
2. reverse gear is selected

with the wagon, if the windshield wiper lever is in the position 2 or 3, the rear window wiper carries out a wiping process every 30 seconds or 10 seconds at a speed above 5 km/h.
When the rain sensor is active (position 1) the function is only active if the front window wipers continue to operate (no break between each wiping process).

The function of the automatic rear window wiper is activated/deactivated (wagon only) via maxidot, in the menu:
-> Setup -> Lights & Vision -> Rear wiper

page 62 of the octavia user manual.
