Does anyone know how to change the temperature unit from Fahrenheit to Celsius on a 2000 Maxima?

I am a student here in the US and I just get more use to use Celsius.
Thanks a lot!!

If you want to live in the US, you have to get used to it, like me, for instance.

The dealership might be able to do it. Its worth giving them a call if they can adjust the mileage they might be able to adjust this.

The equation Temp F = (9/5 x temp C) + 32
Temp C = 5/9 x (temp F - 32)

That's because we're better than all the other places

Besides, Fahrenheit came first and was invented by a German

Celsius came second and was invented by a Swede.

BMW+Mercedes > Saab+Volvo

so therefore

Fahrenheit > Celsius.


you following my awesome logic, yo?

While your logic might be slightly flawed...I applaude the effort.

I like that logic... We try to influence other countries to adopt our ways anyways I am surprised that everyone hasn't gone to to Fahrenheit by now...
