Switching from Miles to Kilometers
Switching from Miles to Kilometers
I think I am finally in the right place!
I am trying to prepare my 06' HHR to be imported to Canada and I need to change the speedometer to metric ( from miles to km's). Is there anyone who can guide me in the right direction?

Close but not quite
I just crossed the border several times between Canada and the US and while these instructions did help up figure out how to do it they’re not quite accurate.
2. press and hold the INFORMATION button AND the ↩️ Button (enter button) for around five seconds and then release
(not the reset button)
3. press the INFORMATION button to scroll through available settings to units
press the INFORMATION button AND the ↩️ Enter Button at the same time to alter the setting.
- I spent a long time pressing combinations of two buttons at the same time until I found a combination that changed the units and I’m pretty sure it was INFORMATION+enter, but if that doesn’t work try enter+reset… sorry it was a long drive I’m pretty wiped
