Heading to Canada this Summer and was wondering if I need to manually switch to kilometers before crossing the border or if the truck automatically senses that and switches.

Sort of. It does say you crossed a border and gives you an option to switch units. You have a short window of time to hit OK to accept it.

If you have border crossing on, it will give you a few seconds to accept when you cross the border, but like others have said you can change it manually, but there’s more than one setting to change, depending on what you want to read in kilometers. You can do the speed you can do the odometer and the gas.

I do know how to change manually. I was just wondering if it would do for me or if I have to go into the menu to change it.

If you only want speedo in kmph , as @MTMan mentioned, border crossing set in the menu, it will change. Distance signs are in kilometres though, so it might be useful to do the menu change if you are going to be here for a number of days , as your odometer will change to kilometres from miles; and I think DTE which could be very useful.

Interesting never knew it would pop up with that feature. Last trip for me it was pretty easy. I was stopped at the border anyway, pulled up the screen and made the changes in about 30 seconds.

IDK whether this would happen automatically if you have speed size recognition set on. Perhaps ?‍♂
