Default Re: Do you mean the center display? Then Paul is right.

Yeah, I'm only looking at the center display. I know that the odometer cannot be changed. Only the temperature and distance are my interest.

Thanks

Default Yep.

So are revolutions of a shaft. Therefore RPM is metric. Happens to also be SAE, I suppose.

Default you sure???

... time is not a metric measure, it is a traditional standard unit of measure.

the two measures that are not part of the metric system are "time" and "angle measurements."

http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/metric.html


if your using the term "metric" loosely as a unit of measure, i suppose if fits your line of thought. If metric is being used to specifically refer to the "metric system," i'm not sure that it satisfies the term.

oh well, not trying to start an argument...

...happy holidays!!
