Is there any way to set and check all the various settings on the screen without running the engine?

Yes, just turn the ignition on (press the starter button without your foot on the brake) and all is available.

If your car has KESSY just touch the start/stop button lightly and the electric power will enable you to check anything on the screen or listen to the radio. If you have a key to start the car then just turn slightly in the ignition switch without starting the car and the normal warning lights should appear.

Brilliant. Thank you so much. IT WORKS!!!
