Recently bought a 2013 i30 Active 1.6CRDi from the UK and imported it into Ireland so all the digital dashboard displays are in Miles, MPG, MPH etc...

From the manual, it would seem that the dashboard displays support displaying both metric (km, L/100 etc...) and imperal (mph, mpg).

However I haven't been able to find a way to switch them. Doesn't seem to be included in the manual and I've read it cover to cover twice. So...

1. Is this even possible or are they completely different computer systems that are installed in the car.
2. If it is possible, is it something I need to go to a dealership to get done.
3. If it's a "dealership" job, is it something I could do myself (I'm reasonably tech savvy) if I had the right cables/software to access the onboard computer/telemetry systems.

Cheers if anyone has any info. Google is proving especially useless on this one.

Wonder whether you need to be connected to hand/computer unit to alter calibration.

As i can change temp from C to F I'll check mine tomorrow to see if i can alter other readings.

Ps
 i take it you need to convert as you are in southern ireland

According to the owners manual the only unit setting you can change is the temperature from C to F

You cannot change distance or speed

[Villa_23]

Can't you change it by using the options in the trip computer

[TheReaper]

I looked at that a while ago. With the 13, there is only the temperature,  you can't change from mph to kph or vice versa

[Just Rick]

wonder if a dealership is able to do it

[TheReaper]

Probably would be able to

I believe it's in the software just waiting to be hacked with a dongle and laptop.

Ok Thanks guys,

Yeah based in Southern Ireland. It's not to big a deal but it's breaking my brain a little as I'm having to convert everything in my head :-)

I'll give a local dealership a call and see what they say.

Given I grew up and got my license while we where still imperial,then over a period of years changed to the metric system,getting  a car in MPG doesn't bother me(just brings back some great memories),plus I love doing math in my head,I'm the sort of bloke who will go shopping and do a running tally in my head and know what the till should tell me after check out,should see the check out chicks eyes when I say to em"if that doesn't come out to $139.45 I want to know why. 

[AlanHo]

You should see the check out chicks eyes when I say to em"if that doesn't come out to $139.45 I want to know why. 

I'd like to be there when the assistant says "Well I make it $89.45 - but have it your way"................

So you have been lying to us all this time about being thick (and I had just started to believe it too)

Same thought occurred to me, too.
