It means 'discovering' I think, that message displays when the trip computer is collecting data before displaying it. Absolutely nothing to worry about my friend, mine does it occasionally.

I was told by my garage that it likely means that one of the wheel sensors is 'disc'connected and temporarily can't read the speed of the wheel or data it sends. Its intermittent and not a problem. Filterlab is right - its nothing to worry about. It's a common issue.

Its a dodgy connection on the trip computer switch if you pull the switch out and pull the cable out of it thats all you will get on the display.Turning the switch a little usually gets rid if the disc in the display

thanks again

+1 - that's exactly what it is.. like most switches they can wear and not make proper contact.. contact Rufe for a price r.e. a new one!

Our C70 does the same intermitantly, nowt to worry about.
May buy a new switch if it starts happening more frequently

Mine was doing it on bumps, I just unplugged the switch and plugged it back in. Sorted.
