Change Kilometeres to Miles on 2015 Forza (USA)

Post by M0T0Geezer »

I have a 2015 Forza (USA) and a Forza Owners Manual (digital .pdf) but it apparently is not for the USA model because I can find no mention of how to switch the Trip meters, miles per gallon, and Odometer to Miles.

Surely there's some magic dance step with the Mode, Reset, and Ignition keys to make the "Magic Eye" read in miles instead of Kilometers.

Help, please?

Not sure if this works but press and hold the mode button.

It should cycle between mpg, km/l or liters per 100 km.

I am guessing the ignition switch needs to be turned on.

Worked OK for me when I mistakenly went to kms from miles. I pressed the left mode button (ignition on) till it changed back to miles.

I can see on a manual I downloaded from somwehere it says for model Forza E ( Europe) this works, but not on model KO and U (Korea and Australia). On those it only has km/l or l/100km options...!

No idea what USA or Canada models are in those terms...

As I understand it you press and hold the Mode button while the display is showing Trip Meter A

It works on mine
Press and hold the mode button. Maybe engine needs to be on? trip a showing. It cycles between km/l mpg liter per 100 km.

Get it on mpg and then switch mode. My 136000 got switched to 86000 miles.

Yes, agreed [Trip A must be on display] IT WORKED! Thank you all.

By the way, my 2015 Honda Forza is up for sale (I bought a 2012 SilverWing). 2900 miles. Here's the link if you or a friend might be interested:
