    On the steering wheel, while in ODO mode, press and hold the Trip button for a second or two to change back and forth from mph to kph.


    11/7/12: I edited this to add the "while in ODO mode' above, for those who may read this and not see subsequent posts. If you are using the Trip meters A or B, and attempt this while in either mode, you may reset them to zero unintentionally. You must be in ODO mode. Sorry for leaving this out on my original post.

    Thanks - that's true and I heard it before from our service people BUT it did not work, unless you are in ODO mode (showing total miles) - which nobody stressed. If you are usually in Trip A or Trip B mode, which we are to check our consumption from last fueling on, then you just reset the trip mileage when holding the button down. Luckily figured it out on my own - and want to share it here...But thanks anyway!!!

    Best, Tom

    YES, this thread needs to be a sticky or something. This is going to happen to others, like it did me today. Nothing in the book. I called the salesman. He told me how but he was not correct. I fiddled around and figured it out. That is not fun when this happens. Thought I was doing 66 mph and was only doing 60 as I set cruise at 100 klm. Did not have the gps in the car and I had taken the mph off my Ultra-Gauge. I wonder why there is nothing in the book about this? Maybe I am missing it. Oh well, now I know. Hope others find this thread should it happen to them.

    It can't be that well hidden if people are changing it accidentally. :)

    (assuming of course that it is being accidentally changed the same way it is intentionally corrected)

    I have done the same and the dealer technicians couldn't figure it out. That was funny! Although a bit disconcerting! Holding down the trip button does take care of it!
