Default Hello! I just bought a Cadillac and need some help with mph-km/h

Can anybody tell me howe I should change my speedmeter from mph to km/h? And also everything shows farenheit on the display but I would prefer to have it in celsius (because I live in Sweden :-) ) Please help me so I can register the car.

Default Cadillac STS Seville from 1996 mph-km/h English / metric button

ORIGINAL: Taggen

I just remebered that I didn´t tell wich one. It is a Cadillac STS Seville from 1996 that needed the change of speedometer from mph to km/h.

press the English/Metric button ...

All other settings will then change to either english / metric measurements as well: temperatures, fuel economy, odometer, fuel used .. etc.

Do you have your OWNERS MANUAL ? The how, is shown in there.

Thank you very much Stomper!! Well there wasn´t any tiny button but the Owners manual at pdf did work. Not at the 96 years model or the 95, but on the 97 years model it talked about the alternate display one could possibly have and if one push the info button several time it appeared a text on the display that said english/ metric, and if you at that moment pushed the info reset (hmmm...logic?) it turned over to kilometer celsius etc! And it worked! I talked to the nearest service center here before you helped me and they said thar they could fix it for 90$...ati just took 20 seconds whn you know howe. Once again, thank you very much Stomper (and G.A.R.Y.who I think gave me the same possibility with his advice) and if you ever need something translated from, or to Swedish don´t hesitate to contact me!

I was in Sweden last summer. What a beautiful country. And the ice bar too. Glad we could help.

Good luck.
