hi all i have 06 plate sri and i have the on board computer with the rollers on the wheels but cant seem to reset things such as MPG how do u do it please?

[john_k_sri]

From the 'Main' screen showing Range and MPG press your left steering-wheel scroll wheel (or the big round knob on the stereo) That will take you to the first BC screen, and if you scroll down and click you will get the second BC screen, once more and you will get the Timer screen. On each of the three screens, you can select a 'Reset' option to reset the figures by scrolling up/down and clicking on the left steering wheel scroll wheel or by turning the big centre knob on the stereo and pressing it,. There are two trip computers on the Vectra facelift called BC1 and BC2

Hope that makes sense

I assume you have a CD30 unit, not a CD70 which I have as mine has Sat Nav, but I still think you just need to either press the left scroll wheel from the screen that shows your Range and Instantaneous MPG, which will take you into the BC screen which displays the first Trip Computer called BC1, and if you push the same button up and down in that screen you will be able to either Reset the figures on that screen or Exit from that screen back to the previous screen or move to the second Trip Computer called BC2 or to the Timer Screen, where you can also reset the figures on those screens.

I just fiddled around with it when I got the car and worked out how to do it all by scrolling the left button on the steering wheel up and down and pressing the button to select a screen or reset the figures on that screen.

'RTFM' is a something used quite often on here - It means ' Read the ****** Manual!' and is always meant in a jokey way, not telling someone what to do or having a go at them.

I've always found that trial and error is quicker than trawling through the manual.

I would be more than happy to go through it with you in person as would anyone else on here.

RTFM haha nice one i love it, mine hasnt got nav on it

The CD30 is different from the CD70. Sorry didn't realise that.

Anyway I have just RTFM. LOL
