How do I reset the trip odometer?

The trip odometer allows you to track the distance you have driven over a period of time. The trip odometer will track all of the miles that you drive until you reset it, at which point it will start over. To reset the trip odometer, simply press the Set/Clr button on the turn signal lever when the trip odometer is being displayed.
