so, our little region called (Schouwen-Duiveland) has an max speed limit of 50 MPH:rolleyes: strange feeling about that now:shrug:
 
its pretty much the same, we did get a couple of clusters that went up to 150, but it was rare.

However, Im not familiar with the indicator light to the right of the battery light... is that a shift light or what?

no, its the indicator for the cruise controll;)
 
What's the indicator next to the oil light? Parking lights? We have nothing there either.

Stupid Ford USA...

Our version highlights four key components:

1.) You've got low coolant, all the time
2.) You're not wearing your seatbelt, but after 5 secs, we don't care.
3.) Parking brake is up, whether it works or not is besides the point.
4.) Check Engine: The car is on, improperly though it may be. It is when the CEL doesn't shine that we become worried; a dead car!

Out of curiosity, why did you switch?

im willing to assume because his KMH gauges didnt have any MPH markings, and in Europe a lot of countries vary in their unit of measure for distance, that probably explains why.
 
As far as I know it's just the UK and Ireland over here that still use Standard measurements for speed and distance. I would assume the car came from mainland Europe where metric is used.

why i switch? cause the mondeo (also know as the contour pré facelift) has the sizes and the looks of an american......
so, welcome american feeling inside:laugh:

even the nose will be an contour mk1 cause i found on the scrapheap an total damaged US contour with euro KMH gauges.
bud the nose is pretty healthy. so the transformation will be soon:cool:
