Please use the search facility first before posting this question, I believe the instructions are there for doing exactly this....type changing MPH to KPH into the search box.

 

Apologies - I searched on "kilometres" and "speedo" but didn't find the information. Thanks for posting the full details for me

 

here is a post from a member about how to change to kph

Well now. . . . .after 45 minutes and the intervention of a very nice lady (Nikky of Lookers Chelmsford) and her pet mechanic on the end of the phone, we finally managed to change mph to kph (I feel like an alchemist.)
Alors, pour une Grande Scenic with hands free card you must:
- ensure the ignition is off, so open and close the door if you're already comfortably seated
- Don't be tempted to touch the brake or clutch
- have the hands-free card in your left hand
- press and hold the top computer-control button on the right-hand stalk
- immediately insert the card into the slot
- then (still with the cc button pressed) press and hold the Start button.
- after about 3-5 second the dash will light up with the speedo flashing - but bide your time and keep pressing them buttons.
- after another 3-5 seconds the mph will change to kph but it will still flash so keep your digits stiff and disregard the pain
- after another 3-5 second the flashing will stop, the speedo will be in kph and you can stop holding your breath (Nikky me and the dealer found we were doing this ) and the buttons and rub some circulation back into your fingers
- despite what the manual said, and it's no surprise it's wrong in this respect as well, it doesn't revert to mph when you switch off, so you have to go through this again when you return to blighty. But imo, this is a good thing.

It's important that you keep the buttons pressed when the speedo is flashing or it will just abort, even when it shows kph.

No problem. Follow the instructions below:
1. Unlock the vehicle, do not start the engine
2. insert card
3. Press and hold either of the trip computer buttons and the start button together
4. Keep pressed until speedo appears
5. Release start button and hold the trip computer button until speedo changes from miles to kilometers or vice versa..
6. Press start button twice to switch off ignition.
Now you're done

 

Should this work for a Scenic which is already in kms/h ????ie a real French one (2006 Latitude with hands free). I am coming back to the UK next week and have just spent 20mins trying unsuccessfully :steam: :steam: to change mine to mph after reading this thread.

 

I spent over an hour on my mates Scenic two days ago trying to go from Kph to Mph and couldn't, I have changed mine from Mph to Kph on several occasions easily so it would seem not

 

Ok thanks. As a last resort I might try my local main dealer, should be fun !!!

 

As I understand it the dealer might be able to do it via the ECU and charge a fortune to do so, are you returning for good?

 

No, just for a week. So if it costs, I'll use my TomTom sat nav, the display is a bit small but better than nothing. Thanks again

 

Service Interval indicator

Joined the Forum to find out how to convert my speedo to kph and back again, ready for a forthcoming trip across France. Thanks - can manage that just fine now, but I have printed it out and put it in my handbook, to look up again when sitting on the Eurotunnel train!

Now, does anyone have experience of changing the indicated service INTERVAL? I have a Scenic II 1.9 dCi, and the handbook shows 12000 mile intervals (or one year), yet the digital display shows 18000 mile intervals. I know how to reset the display, but don't know how to change the interval.

The car was supplied as a direct import (RHD) by a dealer in Sheffield, and my local dealer is (perhaps understandably) reluctant to go out of their way to help me.
