Trip 2 never clears, UNLESS you either clear it manually, or disconect the battery.
does your Trip 2 computer not reset it self after 99 hours and 59 minutes of driving then like in the MKIV?
Yes it does
so Mr T_T is WRONG!!! 
<cough, cough>
Meeeeeee . . . . wrong, never!
Erm, just because Trip 2 runs out of fingers and toes at 99 hours and 59 minutes - that doesn't mean it resets. The time just cycles round to zero again. And the miles are the same - at 9999 miles, one more and it goes back to zero.

Just because the the elapsed time and total distance cycle back to zero, it still don't mean the Trip 2 has "reset". Because the average speed and average fuel consumption will still be active!

I'm sorry to say, that as I said earlier my trip 2 was at 99hr 51min - I watched it tick over and the whole memory reset - everything went to Zero... Mpg, mileage, time etc.
Bugger, you well and truly got me on that one then - what a home goal! :embarassed:
Just as the manual said 
Score draw. The book makes no mention of the average figures. It only states the total miles and the total time cycle round to zero!
