Trip Computer

I have a 98 Olds Bravada that has a trip computer mounted on the headliner. It has two buttoms, one for US/Metric and the other Mode. When you go thru the Mode selections, is there a way to Zero out some of the displays? If I am going on a trip, it would be nice to start the miles/gallon and miles driven to start anew.
