I have a US H3, but I live in Germany... and like the Canadians, we use the metric system. However my Odometer (and Trip-Odometer) shows "miles" instead of "kilometres". Does anyone know how to reprogram the odometer to show kilometres instead of miles?

I don't have my manual here with me right now, but I know it can be changed as I saw how to do it in there. If I recall, it's in the same area on how to reprogram the door locks (to open when in park, close all doors, one door, etc) and the alarm (horn, lights, both or nothing). I know when I start up the H3 and the computer goes through the check, I can see the KM symbol on there, so it's there!

I could only find one place where it mentioned it in the manual and it said "the odometer will display in miles for the united states and kilometers for canada."

It might be possible to configure via a Tech 2. You might want to call the dealer.

That's strange, I have a Euro Spec H3 as well, but everything is fine, shows me the distance in KM and the temp in celsius.

SledgeHummer </div></BLOCKQUOTE>The temp display in the mirror can be easily switched between Fahrenheit and Celsius. I think it's done by holding the on/off button for a little while (I once changed it accidentily).

But no luck for miles/kilometres. I have already played around with it a little, but it doesn't look like there was an easy way to switch between miles and kilometres.
