Couple of queries please
by Cazzcat on Wed May 30, 2012 7:59 am
Hello all
Almost two weeks now with the car bought in my lunch half hour and I'm loving it. My friends are very entertained by the ridiculous name, I'm sure you've all heard all the jokes.
A bonus of buying a car at speed is finding the heated seats I didnt know were there, nor did the dealer, due to the hidden switches. Found them when I skimmed through the handbook and was chuffed to bits. Bought from an independent dealer, it was the first Wind they'd sold too.
I've been very lucky with the weather, roof down nearly every day.
Queries - how do I change the time on the clock? It has no buttons anywhere near it.
Service indicator - yesterday it said service due in 12k miles. Today it says service almost due. Anyone else had this? Can I reset it? It was serviced when I bought it.
Filling the tank - for the first time ever in 20-odd years of driving I managed to throw petrol on my own feet and that was my warning the tank was full when it 'blew back' on me. Is there a knack to putting petrol in or was I just trying to put too much in after being used to feeding an S2000?!
Advice appreciated

The clock adjustment is buried in the Menu of the stereo itself.
Can't remember the exact one but easily found.
The petrol filler is a bit of a faff. Its low down and on a slight angle but should click off when full. Make sure the nozzle is comfortably in. It sort of lunges forward slightly.
Oh and wash any spilt petrol off that paint!!

I have a feeling that the service indicator is just push and hold the end of the washer stalk to reset. I'm sure it's in the manual.
I've had petrol blow-back a couple of times as well. Just seems to be on some pumps. £50 is close to full, so I go easy on the trigger once I've got to that from empty.

Hi service indicator reset is push & hold tutton in few secs whilst its displayed. it is time as well as mileage based so check when the car was registered in case it is due it's service It may affect the warranty!

There's a system settings button on your radio head unit. Scroll through the various menus and it's in there. Time & Date Settings I think.
