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?).

No you cannot change the top left km/h to mph.

OK, thanks. Seems like an irritating oversight to me but no big deal.

Agree it's annoying, but it does make specific mention in the HB that you can't.

That doesn't alter the Km/h in top left of screen, I'm sure I read somewhere that it's all to do with European or UK motoring regulations.

I have another problem. I have a car with US specifications that I want to bring to Europe the odometer in miles, the temperature in F; and see my post:

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

Just checking if someone found a way to change the speedo miles to km or vice versa

What do the "A" beam thing underneath the mode("C") and the yellow start/stop mean? Mines either on(green) or off(disappear).

psychopython

I believe that is for automation headlights. I always keep mine on "Auto"

JBMCL

Weird lol I keep mine on auto too and don't have that symbol on the dash.

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

ManiacGT

i must be missing something, so you have the analogue dial showing you mph, a selectable centre screen to also show mph and you also want the (frankly useful showing of a different scale) top left of the screen to show mph?

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

I think the Germans made this on porpose to remind everyone that the car is European 🤣

I find it convenient if I drive to Canada. I don’t have to change the configuration. I just use the km/h while in Canada.
