Hello,
My car shows only Fahrenheit degree in the dash console, inside and outside temperature. Is it possible to change this unit? Could you please tell me how to switch the temperature display from Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Have a nice day,
Pawel

Hello,

Honda does not provide any information on how to change that display settings.
Have looked at the owner's manual?
Depending on where the vehicle is sold it will have predetermined setting of Fahrenheit or Celsius from the factory.
You might want to call your local dealer to see if they know any trick.
But generally speaking, there is no button to change from one unit to another.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

Just to jump in. This is correct. They don't let you toggle these on newer vehicles like this but the dealer scan tool or comparable one should be able to flip this for you.

Take a look at the page out of the owner's manual. It talks about the temperature reading in F for the US market and C in Canada.

Please see the attached. Thanks

The official dealer Honda in Lodz, Poland names Honda Park, said that by Honda from USA market it is impossible. This Honda VIN no is different than Honda from Canada market (different VIN no, different car). I know, that cars from USA are not well known in Poland unfortunately. Therefore, I ask, and I receive many important data this site. You are the best. :-)

That is great info. Yes, that is common part of the trade agreement between USA and Canada that the VINs are the same format and structure, but the cars are different in the different markets.

Thanks for confirming this and returning to share it with us. Talk to you next time.
