Digital Speedomoter on C300

Hi! I have two questions regarding the digital speedometer in the C300..

1). Can I change the measurement of the speed from km/h to mp/h? I couldn't figure out how to do it, is it even possible? If so how?

2). Instead of having the speedometer under the temperature in the bottom right.. Is it possible to replace it with the trip-odemeter?

Thanks!

1) No.

2) No, but you can change to MPH here.

You would think that all that time spent putting in the sensors for it and what not that they would at least program something so simple in there the dash...

Lots of things **** me off about this car. But lots of things in any car do. Like why MB could not have put the volume buttons on the left for North American Cars!

I've thought that many times as well. Would be much more convenient for those of us driving manuals...

If you're talking about the little digital one that appears at the bottom of the info screen, on mine, the digital speedo can be changed between km/h and mph. There's an option to display the outside temp, speed in km/h, or speed in mph.

The model year '12+ have much different settings than the pre '12 cars. I forget what my '13 can do for settings.
