YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HAVE IT REPROGRAMMED !

With the motor running and door shut, look to your overhead display and push the "Menu" button once. Your first of twelve options you can choose "Metric" or "English". Choose "English" and your odometer will go back to "Miles" and not "Kilometers" which is Metric. That should fix it.
