change temp reading from Fahrenheit to Celsius

Hi, does anyone know if you can change all the temp displays from Fahrenheit to Celsius or visa-versa. Don't the Canadian cars use Celsius? It's probably a hidden feature.

Why do you want to change it? The temp outside is not going to change.

If you have a Navi version there is a converter in the calculater. You can invoke it on screen by pressing "Info" button, and selecting calculater.

If you go into the navi configration menu (hold menu,map,cancel buttons for 5 seconds) you can change the region from U.S. to Canada. That should do what you want.

I don't have a TL. Does the TL have a digital speed readout as one of the display options and, if so, can it be changed from MPH to KPH? Yes, I know that the inner ring of the speedo is KPH, but it's hard to read.

If I buy a TL in California, it might eventually end up in BC.

Some people might prefer to see the temp in Celsius.

Ah, but I wonder what other things might change as a result.

When I tested mine by changing to U.S. I got the male voice instead of French. Km changes to miles. The only problem was the voice control was based on farenheit instead of Celcius but the display still read celcius. Big deal as I don't change the temp anyway and if I did I can still use the buttons for a change. Its easy to change back and automatically reboots when you change. Try it its interesting.

OMG. I think I may have a coronary (not an idle threat, at my age). At last, I've discovered one little thing where Mercedes-Benz is ahead of Acura/Honda in electronic functionality.
