KMs to Miles on Odometer

Traveling internationally, I've been doing this conversion in my head for the past 50 years, so if it showed up KPH on a digital speedometer in the U.S., I would probably not bother to fix it.

Multiply the reading by .62.

The OP posted that he had already found the correct answer no matter how you want to twist the fact that you posted a pretty random response of no help. I get it, it helps keep your post count up as high as possible.

The "incorrect" answer was "You can find it buried in the owner's manual" which you can.. but it's going to take a lot of work...

I do admit to reading... a lot.. including my owner's manual.. cover to cover.
(or to be more precice covers to covers since it's a whole bunch of manuals.)

And some I keep on the hard drive for "Fast searching". Had to use one yesterday.

Thats what they use to call this guy at the auto auction we use to go to back it in the day.
These guys would purchase cars with 150k miles on them and magically the magician would have it reading in the 50s :E
Funny you look at the brake pedal and the rubber is worn down to the metal,dead giveaway

me too

I had a magician fix mine. :)

An hour after confirmation of getting the correct answer, an incorrect answer is posted. Interesting.

ON the Aticia dash (Workhorse) I believe it is MODE and TRIP together that swaps it.. And it IS in the owner's manual. The problem is you have about 10 pounds of owners manual.

With other makes there is a way. but again.... 10 pounds of owner's manual and not always that well indexed.

I did that and it mentioned a swtch in one of the summaries but I did not follow the link


A good trick is to google Make. Model Odometer switch to Kilometers

IE Workhorse 2005 Swtich to Kilometers (my Rig)

I bet you reset the trip odometer right before the change. Try pushing in the reset button on the trip odometer and holding it for 5 seconds.

That did the job.

Thanks.
