Message Center Display

I have a 2005 S Type R, recently had some work done and when I got it back I've noticed a couple of little "quirks" that are bothering me. On the message center where it used to read "Distance to Empty" now reads "Range". Seems kind of trivial but to me, nothing is trivial on my Jag. Also, the touch screen display doesn't seem to display the current station playing. Still displays the songs and artist but the actual call numbers on screen never change. Just misc. stations that I'm not listening too. The station will change when I touch one of the displayed stations, but they are always the same. Every thing else seem to be working fine. Well, except for navigation but I had that issue before the work and I'm pretty sure it needs a new disc player. I would appreciate any insight. Thanks.

When I worked at the dealer I would get requests from customers for info on how to set the clock, change the displays or set radio stations.
I would find the owner's manual and copy the pertinent pages, then fold them and tuck them back into the owner's manual set on the seat!!!!
The service writer would come to me afterwards and tell me that the customer did NOT think it was funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I shrugged it off and said that if the customer was too lazy to RTFM then I was just trying to help find the info for them.

Who did the work? The dealer? What did they do?
I'm wondering if they ran some software upgrade. Maybe the latest and greatest version says "Range". Kind of curious, as both terms mean the same thing.

Hello dinga . . . perhaps later clarification now corrects initial impressions that you did not understand, nor could find, your manual's coverage of "Trip Computer", which is covered there in detail.
Perhaps you may be relieved, rather than peeved, to know that IIRC, this change of term may be part of a s/w upgrade that for whatever reason, your car had missed previously. Testing my memory here and I can't find a specific TSB based on those terms, but have a nagging feeling that early S-Types, but spanning over into MY04, had the "old" wording while MY05 gained the "new". Suggest some research in the TSBs.
My MY07 S-Type has had the "Range" term since new. Our MY04 XK8 has the same, but as it has had all relevant s/w upgrades, it may not have started that way. In your case, and given your location, is it possible your "2005" Jaguar was manufactured as an MY04? If so, there's your answer.
Perhaps a quick question aimed back at the workshop would clarify . . . especially if (as I suspect) they carried out a long overdue flash, which is nagging me that it somehow involved the powertrain. Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
