I changed the battery on my 01 is300 a few months ago and my temperature display went from Fahrenheit to Celsius. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the battery and still the same problem. The only thing the owners manual says is cars purchased in Canada will read Celsius. My car was not purchased in Canada nor was it ever in Canada. How do I get it back to Fahrenheit?

FUN FACT :

°F to °C Deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9

°C to °F Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32

You should be able to toggle this setting via the instrument panels info/trip button.
