Vauxhall Zafira - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Zafira MK 2, Zafira B, A05 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Instrument cluster
Operation: How to activate the secret menu on the Opel Zafira "b" (and avoid battery drain when parked)

How to access the secret menu on Opel Zafira. It is activated by turning on the car stereo. Hold down the "settings" button and you will hear a "beep" indicating that the menu is activated. From the "bc" button in the top left, scroll through. HW indicates the year of production of the vehicle, SW is the type of software installed, DD is unknown, Dimm is the percentage of dashboard lighting, which is adjusted with the button to the left of the steering wheel; LCD indicates the temperature of the LCD and the battery voltage; RDS is a radio parameter; 94 is the engine coolant temperature; average fuel consumption in miles per gallon and then in kilometers per liter. It shows instantaneous, average, and average consumption since the vehicle was turned on. Then there are a series of parameters that the YouTuber has not decoded. If you turn off the car without resetting this menu, it activates a parasitic battery consumption and you will find it discharged within 2/3 days even without using it. So before turning off the car, make sure that this is no longer active, simply by turning it off, turning it back on, and pressing the "bc" button several times to verify that the secret menu is no longer active. This way you will be safe.
