clio 172 resetting trip computer

[walter22]

Hi all,

I topped my car up with £10 petrol yesterday, the needle moved but my onboard computer "miles to empty" didn't change... but it seemed to still go down when i was driving? wondering if it maybe needs to be reset?

anyone had this before??

regards

Pressing the black sticky out thing that comes out from the dials resets most of the things.

thats what i thought, but it aint resetting it for some reason?

The reset button only resets trip figures (trip mileage/time/distance/average speed/fuel economy etc) it doesn't reset the distance to empty value. I have heard a similar wierd thing and it corrected itself when a decent amount of fuel was added into the tank.

it doesnt reset anything... but ok will try filling up with a lot of fuel, thank you.

Hi,

fixed this problem today. What you need to do is this. Hold stalk button in as you turn on the ignition. You will get a dial full of lights. Scroll through with the stalk end button (needles will move etc) until you see -tP- or something like that on your dislpay. Once you have that, hold trip reset button in, turn off the ignition and then back on. Fixed mine. I found the answer on here.

I've put a tenner in before and the range didn't move. Having said that, I've put a tenner in before and the petrol light stayed on.
