Switching from L/100kms to MPG CAN or US????

[DCTRDPYRITE]

I have Canadain bought 2007 Tundra which uses US conversion when I switch between L/100kms and MPG on the Centre console indicator.
Does everyone elses canadain bought vehicle do the same?

GAS MILEAGE

( L/100 KMS to MPG conversion) I have been getting what appeared to be very poor miles per gallon as indicated on the Centre Console AVG MPG readout.

What I have discovered is the following to be occurring. The readout when switched between L/100kms to MPG is in actual fact converting as if the truck was using USA gallons rather the Canadian gallons.

Example: Actual Readout 2007 DC Tundra

At (16.2 L/ 100kms) when switched to MPG indicates (14.5 MPG) which can only be possible when you use a conversion of (235.2146 divided by ( 16.2) L/100kms). which is the USA conversion factor. When in fact the Canadian Conversion of (L/ 100kms to MPG) is (282.481 divided by ( *** ) L/100 kms).
The proper Canadian Conversion should result in the Miles per gallon for 16.2 L/100kms = 17.4 MPG.
I have confirmed this to be the case at all Average (L/100kms readings.) when switched to MPG.



Vehicle Manual Indicates both the English and US system for calculating conversion from L/100kms to MPG can be programed into the Tundra. I don't know about everyone else but I would expect a Canadain sold Tundra to use the proper conversion for this country.
otherwise the system is useless in Canada.

If it is not selectable via a dash button, you will probably need your dealer to plug in their scanner to change it. There should be no charge for this service, but while you're at it you might convince them to activate your alarm and other stuff you might like. Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

Thank you.
Is there a list of what options there are?

DCTRDPYRITE,

You do know that its spelled Canadian and not Canadain?

Just a little tip for the future.

Sanosuke!

[Mr. Creosote]

Even funnier, folks named "Brian" spelled as "Brain".

Thanks for the input, does not answer the question but thanks anyway.
I hope the misspell did not confuse your simple understanding of the topic.

Did you ever contact your dealer?

YES
But they don't seem to know if a reflash program is available?
I'm asking the question to determine if someone with a new canadian tundra may have the proper conversion already in place.
Which would give me place to start?
But for some reason no one on this site can answer or know what theirs does.
To ask the question in the main tundra forum would not help considering it is more USA slanted

[roadstarca]

I asked the service manager last time I was in and his response was the button says US/M and can't be changed!

Does it really matter, just drive the the truck......

14l/100km = 20.2 mpg I did this calculation, and use it as a base line on trips.
