Default How to change the Speedo from km to mph

Recently purchased a used 2018 RX350 F Sport, made in Canada. I just can't find a way to change the digital display from km/h to mph. Does anyone have any idea/suggestion? Thanks

The units are configurable in the multi-informational display (MID). Go to settings, then scroll all the way to the bottom Meter Settings is the last choice, right after Vehicle Settings. Within Meter Settings you can change the preferred units. I had my car running and in Park when I verified this. This setting might not be available while driving - I didn't try it.

Thanks for the reply. I went to Meter setting, under Units, I can change the odo reading to reflect in miles or km, however, the digital speedometer still shows as km/h as I indicate in the picture. I just don't know what goes wrong.

Hmmm. I don't have an F-Sport, so don't have a digital speedometer for use in testing. I notice now on your picture that miles are shown in imperial units, and only the speed is displayed with metric units. Perhaps someone with an F-Sport can comment. FWIW, all the RXs for North America are made in Canada, so this isn't a point of manufacturer issue. Default behavior is set by region (country) of sale. Was your vehicle originally sold in Canada? Regardless, I'd think you could change the speedometer units.

It may have to be done by a dealer with their computer, if you bought the vehicle from a dealer they ought to do this free of charge, it would only take 15 min

I have an F Sport in Canada and when we drove to USA (before Covid) we switched back and forth from metric to Imperial from the settings menu on MID (the screen left of speedometer).

It will switch the odometer, mileage, fuel economy and speed.

I tried it, but only changed the bottom odo units, not the speed units as I want.
Thanks.
