Try this....

Button A=r/h
Button B=l/h

OIL- oil service.
Press and hold button A
switch ign ON
release button A
the letters"oil" will appear in the trip display
turn button B to the right untill "----" is displayed

INSP-inspection service.
Press and hold button A
switch ign ON
release button A
press and release button A
the letters "insp" will appear in the trip display
turn button B to the right untill "----" is displayed
If required, clear the "oil" indicator from the display as above.
Hope this helps, Steve.

There is two "buttons" 'tween the speedo and the rev counter. They are the ones for the clock adjustment and speedo trip reset.
