Turn ignition on (2nd click) and then press and hold the trip reset button until it changes - pretty sure it doesnt reset your trip too if you do it correct.

I have found that you need to put on your seatbelt, close the door then push the button as previously described.

Just tried mine, ignition on and sat in the drivers seat. press and hold the trip reset button.

8600 miles or 311 days here! Under 800 miles on the clock  :wink:

Does that mean mines on Longlife routine?

Thats the one. Sit in the car, shut the door and turn the ignition on so the lights show but dont start the car. Press if for at least 5 secs, I just held mine in.
