Default Speedometer not reading correctly, 03 C5

Went to the store this morning and noticed my speedometer was reading 80MPH and my GPS was reading 45MPH. Pulled over and restarted the car but no change. Has anyone had this problem?

Thanks,
Bill

I would be willing to say you hit the MPH/KPH button on the DIC.

KPH MPH
30 19
50 31
60 37
80 50
100 62
120 75
