    Hold the up and down button together while you're looking at the trip info.

    you dont need to hold it down for long.
    spent 3 days trying to reset it on my car.
    Said F%^K IT and hit the up and down for only a split second and the bloody thing changed.
    Dont hold it down at all just press them.

    I Didn't even know it had a trip meter, i know it seems stupid, i didn't even know what the mode button was for, i pressed it, and my display screen changed, and i was like a little child opening presents on Christmas.

    I was hoping there was a way to make it so the "km to empty" would go up to like 3000, so i wouldn't have to fuel up for a few weeks. lol.

    just buy a new dash cluster lol, when i bought my new dash cluster, before i put it in the old dash said 350ks til empty, put the new one in and it said 650...

    then i got it configured by holden, so back to normal, at least now i dont have to stress about running out of fuel

    drive calmly and gentle on a long country run and you will get 700km till empty.
