Question Speedometer conversion km to miles

Any idea the process to convert the speedometer that reads in metric (Kilometers) to imperial (miles) units? I've got a car from Canada that I'm using in the US, and other than the digital readout, I can't gauge my speed easily.

Your C-class can be changed from metric to miles on the settings screen but that's for the digital speedo. 62mph is 100kph, so multiply the kph reading by .62. Pretty close to the exchange rate so use that as a guide. You'll never get a speeding ticket if you just go 65kph when the speed limit is 65mph. I on the other hand forget when I'm in Canada and the sign reads 70kph and I'm going 70mph. Luckily I have not been stopped by Canada's finest.

Just drive 110kph on the highways if the posted speed is 65mph, 120 if 70. In town go 55kph for main streets.
