Is it possible to temporarily change the speedo to kms?
We are heading to Germany for a few days and it would make life easier, especially with the auto sign reading option on.

Yes, it’s covered in the manual. Look for “tourist alternative”. Dial speedo still shows mph, digital speed display shows in kph.

Thanks, yes I'd just RTFM'd (read the f*cking manual) after I posted this and discovered it's in the settings menus.
Quick check in the car and it took me all of 30 seconds!

Just wanted to say after our trip to Germany this worked very well. The automatic speed sign notification was excellent, the only thing that initially caught me out was when we got to the first 'open' autobahn limit as I didn't realise what it was showing!

There's two ways, the 'tourist' option on the trip computer and the other one in the settings which is the one I prefer because it changes everything into kmh, so that way I actually know if I'll reach my destination on one tank :lol:

I agree. Changing it in settings was very simple
