Hi, not really a problem, but our s2 25 estates dot matrix reads French. I`m sure this is because someone has filled all the gaps in the fuse box, but unfortunately I can`t find a book so I can find where the gaps should be, any help much appreciated.

I feel it's really cool that the car is talking to you in it's native tongue;
I've got one of mine that's resolutely French

When it's telling you all sorts of exotic sounding things it's a far nicer
thing that screaming tailgate not closed properly or whatever...

but if you must;

Language...........................Fuse 4.....Fuse 8.....Fuse 12
French.................................Yes..........Yes..........Yes
English.................................Yes..........Yes..........No
German................................Yes..........No..........Yes
Italian...................................No..........Yes..........No
Spanish................................Yes..........No...........No
Dutch...................................No..........Yes..........Yes
Upper connector row............Line 6......Line 7......Line 8

If you want a bossy car use the German fuse positions!

Sorry, I assumed it was a S2 but didn't label it clear!
Dean, do we both get titled 'anorak of the day' for having
the handbook beside the computer!?

I wonder if there's a hidden Jamaican fuse setting? What would it be telling you?
Maybe not a good idea - it wouldn't say anything being so laid back it'll hardly
notice what's going on!! tongue.gif laugh.gif rolleyes.gif

Hi, thank you both for your help, now back to boring English.

One of my XMs spoke in French/German whatever you did to the fuses - sold it like it.

I really think the car SHOULD have spoken, like the Renault 25 did!

I loved that and would still want one just for the Voice!

Sad eh!!!??? tongue.gif
