How do I reset the trip odometers?

The trip odometers are designed to be reset, so that you can track the exact distance of any trip or combination of trips. To reset a trip odometer, first press the Trip switch until the odometer you wish to reset is displayed. Then press and hold the Trip switch until the selected odometer resets. This should take approximately one second.
