doubt it, but check the manual. I would say you will be needing a small calculator and more patience than me. Why do you want it set up like that??

Some guy in Russia managed it on an older ES. He had to take the whole dashboard out and de-solder a chip and change a few bytes in it. Needless to say it took hours and could have easily resulted in having to buy a new dash display. It was behind the speedometer IIRC.

There is an entire industry of US/European conversion in Russia. They buy a lot of cars in the US and convert them. Those of you who can read Russian> take a look at this:
