the kph is fixed .... you can't change it. Some Eurocratic thing
The blue P is for self parking .... you'll get an arrow at the side of it when your car goes passed & sees a suitably sized parking space.

Assuming that yours works as mine .... by default, your car looks for spaces on your left, to parallel park on your right, you need to be indicating to the right

UK law says you must have KPH and MPH capability

so to allow you to drive on the wrong side of the road, they have the silly digital display on car's where they
1 can't be bothered to paint the dial allowing both units to be seen
2 can't be bothered to give the software to toggle the main display
3 to give the opposite unit display for those that have a phobia about using the correct one for whichever side of the road they are driving
