Can you change the odometer to miles from kilometers?
There is no way I know of that the odometer can be changed by the user – the trip computer can easily be changed, though. Back in 1995, my F-150 only allowed a limited number of conversions between kilometers and miles which nobody adequately explained. It was hard-coded in for some reason.
Is it illegal to change odometer from metric to Imperial?
The odometer is digital and stored within the vehicle’s computer. Therefore it would not be illegal to switch from a metric to imperial odometer reading as there is no hardware or rolling odometer to change and therefore no paperwork to file. The car already is converting most unit measurements from metric to imperial on the fly for the US models.
How do I check the odometer on my car?
(Trip/Fuel): Press this button to display the odometer, trip odometers, fuel range, average economy, instantaneous economy, Displacement on DemandTM(DoDTM) indicator on vehicles with this feature, and average speed.
How to change odometer settings to read miles not km?
Read above, you are looking to change metric to enlish to be exact. Should start by displaying Odometer, then one short press of button shows trip, one more short press will say OIL LIFE, then one more will say METRIC. Now hold down the stick until it says ENGLISH. One more short press and you are done. Thanks for the replys.

Why do I have to send my odometer to the metering shop?
The reason for sending both new and old odometers to the metering shop is because the mileage of the vehicle cannot change while the new odometer is being synced. If the instrument cluster is removed from the vehicle, it’s to be expected that the vehicle will not be driven.
How does tampering with the odometer work?
This type of tampering is not like odometer rollback, the vehicle owner would just shut off the switch for a few months while driving so the mileage wouldn’t rack up, and if the driver need to see the speed of the vehicle at any time, that’s all they would have to do is turn the switch on for a few seconds, check their speed and then turn it off.
