Default Switch from KPH to MPH?

I can see the unlit mph but I can't figure out how to switch it to MPH. It's a JDM so came set to KPH. I was wondering if there's a combination of buttons to swap the speedometer to MPH?

thanks

the JDM's must be KPH only. I press and held that button for about 2 mins no luck. It does not say "SEL" on mine though. But it's the on right next to the trip button. Any ideas?

found info:

Japanese Market (JDM) Clusters

All clusters fitted to Japanese cars do not have the ability to switch from KPH/MPH - the button is present but performs no function so the display is in KPH ONLY. I can enable this button for you when converting the cluster.

Additionally, if you have just imported an S2000 and are required to convert it to MPH for an ESVA test then please contact me for just this service alone - details are on the order page. When I have re-enabled the button the odometer and dual trip counters can be toggled between MPH/KPH at will - the readings which are also converted when you switch which makes for a better result than simply wiring in a speedo converter module.
