I second that, as I was shown how to do it. Follow it, VEry simple instructions.
Have your key in the ignition, but off. Well make sure its at trip A before you start this.
Next, press the button, but leave it pressed….
Now put the car into the “on” position….
The indicator will show a bar like it was counting down, wait till that finishes and it all starts to show 0000miles or whatever it is. And let go.
Your done.
