Is there any way to reset the little screen on the dash? (Sorry, I just got the car about a month ago and don't know the tech terms! :) When I fill up with gas now - completely full - it says I have 124 miles until empty, which I know isn't the case. Not the biggest problem in the world, just wondering if it's something I can fix myself or I will just wait until whenever I have to bring it in for something else. Thanks!
Maybe you're just really getting bad gas milage ;>. After a while it should stabilize at normal. Or just pull the battery. Better yet, download the owner's manual over at
Go to the average mpg display and press reset. The distance to empty is based on the fuel tank reading and your average mpg.
Now that I told you that, I went out and tried it on mine and it did not behave as I expected it to. Maybe there is another register that it maintains a running average mpg in besides the one that gets displayed?
Go to the DTE screen and hold the clear button down.
If it still doesn't work you may need a software update. Last week mine was in for some work they told me they had "upgraded" the DTE software.....

hold the Clear button for a few seconds till it clears the trip computer completely.
