Press the button marked with 'M' on the turn signal lever, and then the small screen on the dashboard will display garbled code. Next, press the small round button on the end of the lever and rotate the ring on the lever. You will notice a number on the screen switching back and forth between three options, which represent the Imperial system, the US customary system, and the Metric system respectively. The Metric system is the kilometer measurement. Press the round button once more to confirm, and the change will be completed.

I remember last year when I was on a self-drive trip in Europe, seeing miles on the dashboard felt particularly awkward, so I switched to kilometers in the settings. The specific steps were: after starting the engine, press the menu button on the steering wheel to enter system settings, locate the units option, and toggle it. Most cars have this in the infotainment screen's vehicle settings section—just tap into measurement units or similar and set to kilometers. If you can't find it, the owner's manual or online forums provide detailed guidance. After changing units, the navigation will match local road signs, helping avoid speeding fines. Regularly checking these settings also prevents display discrepancies, ensuring accurate readings. Switching units is simple and takes just a minute or two, though the location may vary slightly by brand—try a few times to get familiar.

For car enthusiasts who enjoy DIY projects, changing units is a piece of cake. First, check the infotainment screen or instrument cluster settings menu, locate the vehicle options, and select unit settings to switch from miles to kilometers—that's all there is to it. Some vehicles require this operation while the engine is running; older models may need to enter engineering mode via the multifunction steering wheel buttons. It's advisable to consult the vehicle manual beforehand to avoid accidental misoperations. After completion, test whether the speed and mileage displays are functioning correctly, ensuring compatibility with the local measurement system during international travel. Long-term neglect of unit differences may compromise driving safety, making regular unit checks an essential part of basic maintenance. The entire process takes no more than five minutes—quick to master and highly practical.

For beginners, changing the unit settings is no trouble at all. After starting the vehicle, simply tap the settings icon on the display, navigate to the vehicle menu, select 'Units,' and switch from miles to kilometers. The operation is straightforward with quick system response, so there's no need to worry about mistakes. Once changed, the speedometer will display kilometers, aligning better with everyday driving. Familiarize yourself with the interface a few times, and you'll be all set. This adjustment helps prevent mileage misjudgment and ensures a smoother driving experience.
