Hello fisi7chella

Your dashboard display on the new C3

You can change the MPH to KPH or KPH to MPH on the display to suit your country
You can change MPH to KMH or KMH to MPH on the digital display
You can change MPH to KMH or KMH to MPH on the digital display

Depending on the level of equipment fitted to your C3, you have several options on how to change the digital speedo units from KMH to MPH. The 3 different images below show you how to do this on the Monochrome screen option.
buttons to press depending on equipment to set the digital speedo units from KPH to MPH
buttons to press depending on equipment to set the digital speedo units from KPH to MPH
Clicking the images should allow then to show larger versions.

The image shows various options found in the menus of the new C3.

Arrowed is 'Choice of units' which should be the one to change MPH/KPH

Hello everyone,

I have successfully changed the digital display to MPH on my New C3 via the radio settings, however 1 in every 6 times we get in the car, before we start it we notice the digital display is back in KPH. I can go through the radio settings to change the units back to MPH, however it will change back to KPH a couple of days later.

Very strange and I was wondering if anyone else with a New C3 may have experienced this?

I too have a new C3 and twice in the last week I have started the car only to find the display has changed to km. Like you I have reset to Miles, only to find it doesn't stay in that mode.

This really looks like a software bug, so I think it's a trip to the dealer tomorrow to see if there is a fix. As the car is only a few weeks old I wonder how many have reported this

Many thanks for the reply, please let me know how you get on at the dealer. My dealer is over 90 mins away so I'm secretly hoping it's a USB firmware fix they can bung in the post or email!!

Onehabits - my dealer is only a couple of miles away so it's not difficult for me. I'll post ASAP with any information.

I have spoken to my dealer and it appears that this is a known problem with the new C3, for which a software fix is available. They told me that they are now updating new C3's before delivery. My car is now booked in for the update.
