Can't find anything when searching, and the couple of youtube videos show how to do it/what buttons to press for a S2.

Anyone know the route for a S3?

Cheers.

It's STATUS on mine, although that's an English sticker.

It's on the left bank, bottom I think.

I'll have a look shortly
 
Left hand side...bottom button of three, a black one.
 
Is it this one?
Some stickers say 'mode' there.
Do you just press it once, and the fuel economy comes up?

If yes, and the after looking you then want to get out of the window, which one do you press then?

That's the one...if you press it numerous times it cycles between heater controls and fuel economy...I think I press "BACK"...bottom right to return.
 
(On my S3) that button shows range to empty as a small display within the main climate display but there is a more comprehensive display that fills the screen with instantaneous consumption and jazzy moving graphs and stats. Off hand I don’t know the menu route to it and I am indoors in the warm.
 
Pressing it and getting out of the window, please make sure the car is at a stop before climbing out through the window.
 
On my S2 the fuel economy is shown in between the dials on the dash, it goes from 1 mpg up to 5, and also has a D for depressed.
