Converting menus/gauges to metric

Hey guys,

Just bought 2013 ml and waiting for it to be shipped to europe. I was wandering how hard would it be to convert everything to metric units, km/c/l-100km etc. Does anyone have experience with it?

Thanks

That I know, converting from mpg to l/100km is easy, straight from the dash display. You can control it accessing the "settings" menu from the steering wheel commands. You can also get the digital speedo converted from M/hr to km/hr the same way. What you cannot change obviously, is the classic needle speedometer face as the numbers and unit are drawn on it. That can only be changed if you swap the dash unit.

Great, that should solve most of the issues

How about temperature? I know that degrees are also painted on knobs, but I remember from my time with B class that when you change AC setting, you also get a popup prompt on the large screen. Can I change that readout to C?

yes, you can change from DegF to degC the same way.

Any instructions on changing the temperature to C? I have a US car and wants to change it from F to C. Thanks!

on the dashboard menu, go into settings. You will find the option there, not sure under which category it is.
