Default Converting Odometer to read in Kilometers

Hi there, I live in Canada and am wondering if there's any way to change the ODOMETER reading to kms? Converting the speedometer from MPH to KPH was quick and easy but i've been unable so far to figure out how to do it for the odometer. Also, is there any way to change the MPG reading in the computer to either canadian gallons or L/100km?

Thanks.

have you tried the same thing you did for the MPH? (which i can't remember what it was now)

Have you tried having the odom showing, and pressing and holding the odom button? (though that may have been how to change the mph to kph)

Don't you just tap the odometer reset button until it gets to the odometer reading (not the trip reading) and once there hold down the button?

Yea, that is for the speedo, was playing the other day trying to look for it, i can't find it. might be something like how you hold a button before you turn the key to on (i haven't looked at this car yet, i know the tC resets the service light when you do that w/ the odom button, but the xB has that 2nd button)

Ya, holding the button works for the speedo but not the odo and there's nothing in the manual about converting the odometer. Kind of strange, you'd think that if you could convert one the other should be able to convert as well...

Is the new xB for sale in Canada? If it is US sales only maybe they didn't bother to put the feature in. After all, isn't the "MI" label under the odo printed on. ;-)

I don't think an odometer exists to where it will convert it's mileage to KM. This is only for the speedo.
