I'm sure that the first time I took my MY13 abroad, when I switched from mpg to litres/km the speedometer magically changed from miles to km. Tried it again this week and although all the digital readouts, including the digital speedo, changed to km, the speedo dial remained in mph.
So did I imagine it last time, or has something gone wrong with my instrument panel? Anyone got any thoughts? Or maybe could just try the switch themselves and report what happens?
I've had a look in the handbook and can't find anything relevant. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

You imagined it I also changed it over when in France and the digital speed readout changes to kph but no change on the dial.

Thanks for that! It's nice to know that the car is OK - just need to worry about my sanity now!  Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

I had something similar that did my head in, for some reason I prefer the sat nav to talk back in metres and I felt sure I could do that on its own and I spent hours in the menu's. But no, for that to happen I have to go metric in everything including the speed readout and also losing mpg to litres. Seems its a global change unless anyone knows different

I had something similar on a Saab 93. If I wanted imperial measurements (mpg) I had to settle for a 12 hour clock. Drove me mad as I always use the 24 hour notation. Series 2A 1961, 1975-78, made to last forever.
Series 3 Lightweight, 1973, 1999 - 2012, still regret selling this car.
Freelander 1, 2005, 2005 - 2008, sold the minute its warranty expired.
Defender 90 200 TDi, 1985, 2012 - 2014, paid far too much for it.
Defender Wolf, 1998, 300 TDi, 2017 - 2019, too expensive to maintain and the Army hadn't.
Defender Puma, 2009, 2014 - 2014, not a sensible family car.
Freelander 2, 2012, current, is this the car to last?
