That is weird. I live in Germany and mine stays on metric. The car should remember the settings you had when you turned it off, the only default I know of is active handling always resets. Go through the manuel and the settings in the DIC, just to make sure everything is correct. Also, I have a US spec model.

Mine is just the opposite, alway comes up metric and I have to change it to mph. Wish I knew how to have it come up right every time. Maybe we should trade cars. :seeya

Do you have the memory package? Could it be related to that? Remembering the wrong setting. :seeya
