Default Speedo Display from KM/h to MPH?

On the UK SLK 2005 the speedo/speedometer dial shows my speed in MPH but my digital display shows it in KM/h? Why?
Does anyone know how to change this?
(It is very annoying when you glance down and see how fast you are driving but then realise its KM/h!)

toggle through your multifunction display until you hit settings. From there, go to instrument cluster settings and it is in there that you will find the place to select MPH or Km/H.

At the page link listed, go to start up the top of the page to find out more. It is a great interactive way to learn about the car.

The help was great; but I tried it!
Then read the bottom of the sheet from the link
http://www4.mercedes-benz.com/e/cars...imdetail6.html
(Go to about page 10 of this link)

On printing, reading through and testing it no luck!
on Page 12 it does state that this will not work for UK models?

Why are we using KM/h when MPH is standard in the UK?
If I drive abroad then I know to change it to KM/h!

There must be some way around this?
How can other models (non UK) have this feature?
Are the UK cars given a cheper program?

Do you know where I can find similar pages for a SL 55 AMG. And for the S?
