Unable to Change Speedometer from KMH to MPH
Hi all,
I seem unable to get the readout to change from KM/H to MPH as in the photo below. I have successfully changed the setting to change the main readout in the centre of the cluster but KM/H still shows in the top left hand corner (beneath the bluc "C"). Can this be changed? This is a UK C220 2014 BTW (my log book says W204 but is this not a W205?).

I used the steering control to go to settings and this was the only option under secondary display
Here in Canada you can change the top left (Secondary Display) to show MPH while leaving the center display to KMH

The A under the C means that you have automatic high beams turned on. When dark and no other vehicles in front of you, the high beams will turn on/off automagically. You can disengage using the light stalk. You do have to have the headlights on auto as well.

The little speedometer shows the speed in opposite units. If the main speedometer is mph then the little one is kph, and vice versa. The options only allow that little speedometer to be turned off

presumably you want mph at the top left because you want something else in the centre than mph? Personally I just look at the speedo and find the alternative kph scale useful for reference.

I couldn't change it either. Here is a lifehack I did:
Convert your necessary speed limits with something like this: https://oneconvert.com/unit-converte...ter/kph-to-mph
Write them down on white tape and place them on or near your speedometer.
Seeing them every day will make you get used to both.

You will always see km and mph or mph and km. In my car i see km, km in the middle and mph on the lower left side. If I swap it, i see the opposite
