M2 WL Display The VDO M2 WL has a large, easy-to-read display that can be divided into three areas. – The top line of the display shows the value for the selected function. – The middle line displays “am” or “pm” if the 12-hour clock format is used. It also displays whether kmh or mph has been selected for the speed indicator. On the left of this line are arrows that indicate whether the current speed is above or below than the average speed.
M2 WL Functions The VDO M2 WL has the following functions Current speed With a wheel circumference of 2,155 mm, the maximum possible speed is 199 kmh or 124 mph.
