Change units on trip computer

Does any body know how to change the units used by the trip computer? I'm inIreland so its set to km and l/100 km.
I'd likto change it to miles and mpg.
Regards
Chris

Other than buying a 2013MY or later I don't think it is user changeable.

I assume your speedometer is in km's and therefore the trip computer is also in km's?

The consumption units can be changed but you need a dealer tool or a tool that can send commands over CAN-BUS...
It can be set in either of the following: km/L, L/100km, MPG (US) or MPG (UK)

40 mpg UK = 34mpg US, how many members are off to the dealers to ask if their trip computer is set right Laughing

Unfortunately, on your car that's impossible without dealer tools. The config menu comes with later models... Rolling Eyes
