если стоячая машина, то тоже самое, но первое будет сброс масла (у меня к примеру), жмем ИНФО, находим поле units - жмем стрелочку и выбираем значение metric

The process really simple. I spent about 10 minutes.

As you wrote:

1. Start the engine, used 2 fingers


2. press on the button "info" found The option "units". In Inside option "units" has found an option "metric" via the button with the image of an arrow.

Along the way it turned out an unpleasant fact - the button "Info" has an obstacle Inside the steering wheel, bad press (bastard !).

Here is my speedometer now.


In addition to the "km / h." I have received: liters, degrees Celsius, and other metric units. It pleases me, I'm not used to the American units and was forced to do recalculations.

Maybe now I'll go slower.
Could not overcome a psychological barrier - the speed limit in town "60", here I go "60" but miles / hour. And in km / h - it complies with "96". As a result - constant negotiations with the traffic police.


Guys. Once again, thank you all!

manifest - отдельное спасибо!

If it's anything like the US, those negotiations are mostly unsuccessful.

Good to hear you got your units fixed up, though.

Actually, you don't need to start the engine to enter the personization menu; just turn the key to the on position. That could be why you discovered the 'obstacle'. I'm not sure about the HHR but in my GTO, you can access more items in the personalization menu with the engine off than you can with the engine running.

More would be great to reconfigure the radio.
If I understand correctly, in America you are using only the odd frequencies. In Russia, we use all the frequencies - even and odd. Thus, many radio stations are not available to me.
Not that I like to listen to the radio, most radio stations broadcast crap. But 3 - 4 good stations, I now hear very rarely, only when the took away car of my wife.

I'm glad you were able to change it for you geg. Hopefully now much better.

I think if you turn the tune dial versus the seek button, it will take you thru the even number frequencies. I would try it for you but I no longer have the radio and perhaps nothing of the ole car.

A good radio shop can do a procedure called "Down Converting" for you geg, the radio in the HHR is capable of tuning into the European frequency ranges once it is converted. The problem you are having is due to the frequency allocations used in the European OIRT standards which apply to both Medium Wave (MW) and Long Wave (LW) transmissions. Also radio stations in Russia are still broadcasting on the old Soviet frequency ranges of 68.5-74 MHz which can only be received on a radio that has been "Down Converted".

Я надеюсь, что эта информация полезна для вас, имеют приятный день моего друга.
