Something I thought I may as well share with you guys; with the ignition on ACC, hold the trip meter button down. Then moving the ignition to the ON position hold it in for a further few seconds. The sweeps cool! ;) Although the personality score is a bit of a concern.
Enjoy! |

What is it? like an instrument check where the speedo/tacho needles bounce and the LCD's run through all the numbers?

Personality score is the same with me? Perhaps is an auto box thing? |

Im guessing it brings up the diagnostic mode. we have it on the Fiesta too but my gauges don't go a sweep they just move about 1mm up and down until I select a different feature.
Id say Personality score is for the auto's. They have an adaptive shift pattern so if you frequently give it WOT and generally give it a hard drive the auto will adjust itself so it shifts higher and firmer while if your a granny it will shift lower and smoother. My mates liberty does it and you can notice that after a good spirited drive it will shift higher in normal driving but return to normal later on |

I've been doing that trick for ages... well.. since March when I got the car anyway. I tend to leave it in the km/h reading or RPM readings for fun.
