So, how did I become the proud owner of an xb?

My friend purchased one in September. After going for a ride on her new car, I was hooked and had to have one. Two weeks later, I was a proud owner of my own xb.

What drew me to this site is trying to find an answer to a speedometer question. I'm getting weird readings. My readings show I'm speeding, yet, I know I'm not. I'd like to think that I just need to adjust it myself?

Please let me know if I need to post my question elsewhere.

Happy New Year!
:cheers:

Check your book...it sounds like your speedometer is set for Kilometers per Hour (KPH) not Miles per Hour (MPR). It is a simple fix.

Welcome!

Look next to the numbers. It has "MPH" or "KPH" and if KPH, Brewski is right.

Funny thing is that when I picked my xB up new...the speedometer was set for KPH....took me about 1/2 mile before I realized it and corrected it to MPH. Page 94 of 2008 Owner's Manual..."The speed units, km/h and MPH, can be selected by pushing the trip meter reset knob for more than 1 second when the odometer indication is displayed."

Hope this helps.../Brewski

that's it!

the letters next to the reading starts with a "K", so the setting is wrong. i'll check the manual tomorrow.
