Default Speedo Question

I have a 2016.5 Grand Touring. Bought in Canada and just moved to the US. Is there anyway to flip the speedo so the larger km writing becomes mph? Tired of trying to look at those tiny mph numbers. My husbands dodge flips at the push of a button so hoping I can do it on mine.

Page 5/49-50 of your owners manual.

Thx, but that's not it. That just changes km to miles on the odometer, not the speedometer. I'm wanting the larger numbers on the speedo that are for Km's to actually be for miles so I am stop trying to read the smaller set of mph numbers. I know of 10 year old cars that can do this so I'm shocked that a new car with tons of technology can't seem to do it.

While I can appreciate your being disappointed with Mazda's oversight here, let's deal with the situation at hand. The numbers and layout of the speedo are printed on the dial face. As such, they are not changeable as is the digital readout of the odometer.

Odometer is changeable. It's in miles now. That's why I'm so shocked that the speedo can't be adjusted. 10 year old cars with zero technology are adjustable. This thing is loaded with everything and yet such a simple thing was overlooked. Poor design on mazda's part.

Maybe; lots of new cars from lots of manufacturers, even very expensive ones, do not have that feature.

I read the posts on this thread to my wife.


After she stopped laughing, she suggested using stickers. ;0)

Why not ring a dealer in your new country & price up a replacement instrument cluster.
