My apologies if this has been answered, but I have not been able to find a search result. I have a US SL 500 1998 with miles reading and fahrenheit temp gauge for outside temp. The ACC shows also in F.
Living in Norway, we use KM and Celsius respectively. I searched online and found statements somewhere that you can change between the two readouts using STAR diagnostics, but not sure if it pertains to "our" cluster. I don't have STAR, so I took it to the local dealer. They played around with it for a while and concluded that this specific cluster can not be changed from miles to km or the other way around. Celsius/Fahrenheit cannot be changed either.
I belive the ACC temp is a slave of the instrument cluster.
Has anyone been into this problem (e.g. taking a US car to Canada, a mainland Europe car to UK)?
It would be fun to go back and tell the dealer how it's done :grin
