What happens when you change the scale on the odometer?

What happens when you change the scale on the odometer?

You shouldn’t change the scale.. the numbers stay the way they are, but when you program the car to km it moves slower/faster to show the correct number. Hope that makes sense. Basically instead of showing “60” for miles per hour, the needle will go to “100” for km/h.

Why does the odometer go to 100 instead of 60?

Basically instead of showing “60” for miles per hour, the needle will go to “100” for km/h. There is a tiny mph indicator that lights up, and that shuts off and the km/h indicator comes on. So now you are showing 100km/h instead of 60mph on exactly the same cluster.

How does the odometer work on a Mercedes Benz?

There is a tiny mph indicator that lights up, and that shuts off and the km/h indicator comes on. So now you are showing 100km/h instead of 60mph on exactly the same cluster. All of the fuel economy displays and other things change from imperial to metric. The only thing that doesn’t is the climate control dials in the centre console.

Do you get just dashes on the mileage meter?

A Chinese-cloned or other Star Diagnosis computer with access to developer mode has many capabilities that the dealership systems lack, and setting the odometer is probably one of them. Good to hear,I`ll try. are you getting just dashes on the mileage? Yes you are right I got only dashes on the meter. Thanks.
