Does anyone know how to change the temperature display from celcius (sp?) to farenheit? The owners manual says it can be done, but I haven't found a section telling you how to do it. Anyone know?

Is your car equiped with the NAV system? If so you just need to select it on screen...

If you have the Auto Climate Control, then you can change it my pressing the AUTO button for a few seconds, it acts as a toggle between Farenheit and Celcius. It changes both the On-Board Computer - temperature reading and the one on the ACC.

So what kind of "mileage" is everyone getting?

Please use obsolete units I can understand, such as furlongs per fortnight, as the metric system is just too complicated for me to understand.

It just does not make sense that water should freeze at 0' and boil at 100'. How can anybody ever be expected to learn such a complicated set of units?

Tee hee! I know I am a punk, but living and working on the metric system for a long time has me scratching my head as to why Americans still refuse to switch over to the metric system!

To be honest, I still have to do a little bit of mental math sometimes when thinking bout distance measurements, but having my Nav system set to kilometers really makes things nicer and is a great remedial teaching tool for me!

Because if we switch over to the metric system, the terrorists have won.

Hmmm... just realized it's time for my lunch. I'm so hungry, I could eat a hogshead of tuna salad...
