Change the language on a Shimano STEPS SC-E5000 or SC-E5003

Shimano STEPS SC-E5000 / SC-E5003

Six languages are built in and the switch is in the display menu.

Step by step

  1. Stop the bike and switch it on. Press and hold the small function button on the display for about two seconds until the [Setting] menu appears.
  2. Short presses of the function button move through the items; a long press selects. If a SW-E6000 switch is fitted you can also scroll with X and Y and confirm with A.
  3. Move to [Language] and long-press.
  4. Choose English, French, German, Dutch, Italian or Spanish and long-press.
  5. Move to [Exit] and long-press.
Tip: Can't read the current language? [Language] is the item directly after [Unit] (the one showing km/mile).

Can't find it?

No [Language] item: your bike brand removed it from the menu. On an SC-E5003 use E-TUBE Project on your phone; on an SC-E5000 a dealer sets it over the wired connection.

Still stuck? Take a photo of the display and show it to a local e-bike workshop. Bring the bike's system name (e.g. Bosch Performance Line CX) and the exact code; that saves diagnostic time and money.
