sambooka Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 It's fairly easy you move through the menus using the button on the end of the indicator stork and when you see what you want to reset eg mpg or mileage you just hold the same button in for about 5 seconds the display will show --- until you drive the car and it logs the date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNath Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Note it down when you fill up and reset it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNath Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Handy hint: keep the needle below the maximum speed limit on that road and your average will not exceed it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNath Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 My personal opinion but much better idea than faffing around and reseting the trip computer whilst driving ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
