Arrow Strange event ?

Howdy to All,
I got in the car this morning to take my better half down to the Supermarket to buy our weekly Groceries.
Glancing at the odometer (as you do) I noticed that the read-out was now all in imperial (Miles, MPG, etc)

As long as I have owned the car the read-out has always displayed the correct Metric Units (Kilometers, litres, etc) matching the Speedo scale and its graduation.

Can someone please tell me what has happened here, how its happened and importantly - how to revert back to Metric Values.

Thank you.....

Simple fix.

You have a metric/imperial button, labelled F/C.
It is located beside your A/C button and AUTO climate button.

It changes the readout on your odo/trip/computer from Imperial to Metric.

Obviously, someone inadvertently nudged the button ... simple fix!

Larry, not the F/C button, but rather down on the right hand side of the steering wheel is the control switch panel for headlights. There is a button labelled ML/Km (see: http://www.xtypeparts.com/img/products/xtp1124-1.jpg)

Hit this sucker and you'll be back to metric.

Regards,

Rob

Lcgi,

Good to hear it was a straightforward explanation.

Bet that had visions of $$$$ going through your mind when you first saw it.
