Language and Units

Changing the app language and choosing how distance, consumption, pressure and currency are shown.

This screen sets the app language and the units of measurement. The choices hold for every screen, and the fuel economy unit is independent of the others by design.

  1. Change the language

    In Language, choose one of the options in the list. The change holds for the whole app, regardless of the language set on the phone.

  2. Choose the unit system

    Unit System offers three options: Metric, with km, L, km/h and °C; Imperial US, with mi, US gallon, mph and °F; and Imperial UK, with the British gallon.

    The difference between the two imperial systems is the gallon, which has different volumes on either side of the Atlantic.

  3. Choose how consumption is shown

    Fuel economy unit is independent of the unit system. You can use kilometers and still see consumption in km/L or in L/100km, whichever your market is used to.

    Electric and gas consumption do not follow that choice: each is shown the way its own market does it.

  4. Set the tire pressure

    Tire pressure sets the unit of the readings. Compare it with the label on your car's door pillar and choose the same unit, so there is no mental conversion to do.

  5. Set the currency

    Currency holds for fill-ups, expenses, income and services. It does not convert amounts: it only changes the symbol and the formatting.


If something goes wrong

That is expected, because the currency is only a matter of presentation and does not convert amounts. A fill-up already entered keeps the same number, and only the symbol changes.

That combination is possible. Keep the Unit System on Metric and change only the Fuel economy unit. The two fields are independent precisely to allow that kind of choice.

That is deliberate. Electricity and gas are shown the way each market does it and do not follow the liquid fuel unit, because the conversion would produce a number nobody uses.

Screens opened before the change can keep the previous language until they are reopened. Go back to the home screen and enter them again.
