Cruise control - miles vs km

Hey all!

Got a Mk3.5 Focus TitX with Sync 3. If I change the distance units to km, everything changes as expected - speed, odo, trip meter, fuel economy (mpg) changes to fuel consumption (L/100km), etc etc (oh how I wish we had a digital dash to change the speedo though!), however, it seems that the cruise control is forever in miles per hour. I've changed the unit to km, left the car overnight, all manner of resets, but it seems it's forever in mph. This seems like a ***** huge oversight 😠 - if I change to km then surely I'd want the cruise in km/h too?! Does this happen on anyone else's car?

Presuming this could be an older model thing, can anyone with a Mk4 Focus be bothered changing distance units to km and seeing if the cruise control changes? 🤷‍♂️

    Just a little bump on this topic to see if this happens on anyone else's Mk3 or Mk4?

    Hmmm, interesting.  Even when in Europe I leave mine in miles, but set my satnav to kph, never thought of changing the settings to kms, off to France shortly so maybe I'll give it a go :biggrin:

    I'd love my car to have full km speedo etc, even in the UK but given they're fixed clocks I'll settle for everything else being set to km. Cruise control is mugging me off though 😄

    Just bought a second hand 2017 Mk3 Focus imported into Ireland from the UK and this is driving me daft!

    It's such a small thing but really frustrating!
