CityNG: Here's the instrument cluster of MY09 Jetta, it's a world car.

The superior measurement is in bold and clearly labeled.

However, you can use VAGCOM to change the odometer readings from KPH to MPH and vice versa. It will auto calculate the correct readings and also indicate miles or kilometer on the odometer so that there's no confusion.

PS: Yes I need to detail my car, I've been neglectful and I hang my head in shame grin

I wonder why Americans don't wanna adopt the metric system as used in most countries. Miles instead of kilometers, °F instead of °C

It even goes further than that.

We also measure in feet and inches grin

PS: Does any other country follow daylight changing times?

If u mean daylight saving then yes, in the UK it normally starts in April and ends in October when their time is advanced by 1 hour.

I don't know whether my odometer reads in miles or km, I need you to help me clarify how to know whether my odo is reading miles or km and explanation how to differentiate both

Pix attached is for my trip A and total trips. Thanks in advance.

You can reset trip A and cover a known distance, u wil see that its mile not km
