Also AFAIK it's not affected by driving style, it's just a countdown. |

Perhaps the note on the reset procedure explains it,did you do 200 miles?1) Ensure "ignition" key is turned off. 2) Depress and hold the odometer reset button whilst turning the "ignition" switch to the on position. 3) Keep the odometer reset button depressed for 10 seconds whilst the service display counts down from 10 to 0. When the count down reaches zero the spanner icon will vanish from the display and the service indicator will be reset. Note 1: When reset, the service indicator is actually reset to 9,500 miles. The mileage that the car accumulates henceforth is subtracted from 9,500 miles, until 9,500 miles have elapsed at which point the service indicator icon will reappear inorder to warn the driver that the next service is imminent. Any mileage accumulated beyond 10,000 miles since the last reset will be indicated with a minus sign displayed infront of the mileage to indicate by how much a service is overdue. Edit Nah reading it again it doesn't. ________________________________________ pet hate, the cat |

Clocks I think buddy. As already said its just a countdown. You can change the intervals too if your doing a lot of short trips/ town driving. As for it goin from 700 to 0 I don't really know why but my blaze 6 went from 3k to 0 must've been some sort of error. ________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |
