1.609344000000865km to a 1 mile

but if you dont want to do the math use this.... Convert km to mile - Conversion of Measurement Units

sorry for confusion, i mean is there a way to change the display in the dashboard instrument next to clock to read mpg not km/litre

Owner's Manual perhaps?

Do you have one of those Trip Computers?

Usually has a reset button that you hold for few secs or 2 buttons that you hold at the same time and allows to change all. I am not familiarized with the one you are talking about, but by my experiences, it has to be some like it.

Tried all combination of buttons and nothing in manual, perhaps its not possible

I do not have one so I use the trip meter and use the full tank and refill again to calculate.

Is a ballpark figure but is close enough.

what car what year, sigh.

are you asking how to change the speedometer meter so it is scaled in Kilometers and not miles, KPH and not MPH.

you need a new speedo head , you would get one off Fleebay.

but it is complex.
we need the FULL car spec, not just i have 92 kick.

i need the whole thing.
the speedos are diff by.
year.
2 door 4door
tranny
4wd and 2wd.
calif, car , and fed car. (either will work) if cables match.

the trick is this , photo th rear of your speedo
then
buy one on fleebay that is exactly the same on the rear and MPH.

secret , count the pin. on the 2 main connectors.

is that the answer you desire. NO , the ask the question again.
and state car type.

or is this a Hybrid with MPG readouts.

I mean the digital display next to the clock, the one that tells you km/litre or switsh to average over journey.

Step 1: Tell the people you're asking what kind of car you have....Year, Model, Engine, Tranny, 2wd/4wd. They are all different.

Lots of help here.
