Welcome Raf, I doubt you can change it. There are easy formulas on google to convert it. I think if you type mpg into Google it will convert for you too. Some member use a website called "fuelly" which allows you to even embed your economy results on forums like this in any format you like...

Think it can only be done at a dealers who need to plug the car into the hy gizmo they have on site


Ps
My unit has kph in small writting below the larger mph figures.

Does yours have them?

I thought you could go into "Settings" and change the units from miles to kilometres and degrees C to degrees F etc or vice versa. But its 3 years since I owned an i30 so I have no way of checking.

I can do it on my KIA and on the SEAT Ibiza I hired in Lanzarote a couple of weeks ago.


My understanding is that from 2005 onwards cars imported into Ireland had to have the speedometer and odometer set to kilometres.
