to be serious any vehicle with a digital read out must under the relevant EEC regulation be switchable to KPH however this is not so for mpg/kpl

Mine does record km/litre although of course on the continent they use l/100km as the unit of fuel consumption. Still it does make driving much easier when all the units you are using match!

You say it is a regulation but when I told them at the Renault dealership that you could do it they had not heard of it and asked me to show them in one of their demonstrators!

sounds typical of some dealerships i have deliverd to

Does this apply to all cars that have digital displays or is it only for the ones manufactured in the EU.

as far as im aware this applies to all vehicals imported to the eu, thats why the old clock type sold in the uk has both mph and kph the first vehical i came across with this feature was the yarris which at the time wad made in japan

It is a legal requirement that a vehicle registered and used where MPH applies should have a speedometer reading MPH.

Similar rules apply where KPH is the norm.

The fact you may be able to play around with the electronics is nothing to do with it.

Should you import a vehicle into the UK then if it is not fitted with a MPH speedo then the law requires that you have one fitted.

Fuel computer systems have been dual MPH/KPH - Litre/Galls for as long as I can remember - and that is a long time.
