Sorry dude, you may not get an answer to this one here.. Try here https://www.rangerovers.net/
If it got confused I'd do what you do with any computer and switch it off and on again.
I've heard the modern cars have all their service history in the Cloud. All sorts of data gets uploaded and you can start the car over the internet. Seems a bit gimmicky to me and a waste of fuel although I can see it being nice in a Russian winter or possibly central Canada.

The government can also stop your "connected" car running at anytime they fancy. If you drive a Chinese EV, even the Chinese government can shut your car down

True, just more aggressively. They did not do it as much 5-7 years ago. And then Tesla came along with all their cameras and over the air updates.
Mazda do that. I have a 07 plate MX5 and all the service history is online. Never bothered with it as do all my own servicing and know its been done.

Pleased my MR2 predates all this nonsense.
Its a right faff if you want to access service history. You had to register and give in my opinion to many personal details. Plus the only garages that can input the service are Mazda registered garages and not your local trusted garage. Just another way of dealers proving that they are stealers and skanking you for every penny

I worked in computers all my life, but to me all this "connected" stuff is a step too far. The tentacles of the state are drawing ever tighter around the general public.Its a right faff if you want to access service history.
