My sister picked up her new 2005 Sonata tonight. Both the Climate control
and the ambient temperature readouts are in Centigrade. Anyone know how to
change this to Fahrenheit?

Amazingly, the owners manual was not with the car. They promised it to her
by Friday, but I figured someone here might know to change this.

TIA,
Jon

What he's asking for is directions for changing the display in the car,
not a conversion formula.

Press and hold the "Temp Down" button and the "Ambient" button for
about 5 seconds.

Thanks Jason, That's exactly what I was looking for.

sounds like a good opportunity to learn some of the metric system to me
.... leave it celcius and learn what temps are comfortable and help the
USA get out of the stone age (only country that still use the english
system in the world besides like lithuinia)

err... the UK still uses it. Ireland still uses it to an extent. I’m
sure there are others. Lithuania certainly does not. Nor does
lithuinia :P

But yeah, I agree. Stick with celsius, zeppo, and learn it. It’s so
much more useful than farenheit.
