Whilst driving this morning I was aware that my Speedo had changed from 30 MPH to 48 Klm for which I have never had before.

On checking the Infotainment, System Vehicle Configuration Settings I found that Language was Italian and Unit Speed set to Klm.

Changed both back to required settings and all fine again.

Has anyone else had this problem.

Mine has done this twice in the 12 months from new, as you did just reset it in the settings. I can live with this if its only a couple of times a year.

Thanks Tel,
My main concern was that I was driving through different speed zones ( 30, 40 then 20mph ) when this occurred & had following traffic so was unsure if I was keeping to correct speed & no where safe to pull over until I reached near to home.

I did notice that Stop / Start warning light came up prior to the change?

Found settings information on Page 77 of Corsa Owners Manual on how to reset the Language & unit settings.

Like you say if this only happens twice year it can be manageable but will mention to VX when my service is due in February 2022.

Hi Derek. I don't use the digital speedometer I use the dash face one. Only noticed it had changed until I looked at the milage and realised then. I would be interested to know what your dealer says in February.

Thanks again Tel,
Yep I’m also interested to see if VX have an answer to
this problem but have seen on other VX web sites that other models Moka, Astra etc have had similar issues so this is a well known problem apparently.

At least I am now aware of the problem & can convert MPH / KLM/H a bit quicker next time - have to carry conversion chart in me head ( Ouch ).

Will post on here any info Received.

Might be worth ensuring the firmware is up-to-date. Check MyVauxhall on how to do this to be sure it's done safely. I haven't experienced this issue as of yet.
