Okay, my fellow GTO owners. Here is a quick question for you. How the heck do you reset your settings? i currently have the average miles per gallon and average speed. But i dont know how to reset them after i fill up my gas tank or so. i have read the manual, but they really need to dumb it down a bit.
So can anyone give me a quick answer?

Hold down the mode button for like 3 seconds then let go. (when you have what you want to reset, showing)

 

[Groucho]

Sorta.

After the post-ignition option screens clear, press, hold for less than 2 seconds, and release the SET button. She'll beep and and reset the displayed data for you.

 

[djdub]

Actually, you can do it at anytime, by pressing and holding the button. I do it all the time and not just after start-up.

My point was that it can't be done while the startup/options screens are up.

Well when you said "sorta" you implied that I was not totally correct in my explanation.

That's because you weren't totally correct.

From the pamphlet "Getting to Know Your GTO":

To reset menu items such as AVG SPEED or TRIP TIME, press the "SET" button for less than 2 seconds while the item is displayed.

..not the MODE button, and not "like 3 seconds."

SET for less than 2.

 

[Tuxedo Mask]

Alright. i will try it today after work. Did any of you guys get the silver grommeted car manual book for the GTO??

 

[LarryM]

Are you referring to the silver covered what I'd call coffee table book? If so, yes I did. Very nice pictures.

---Larry

 

[Groucho]

No.

Dammit.

 

[lisatw151]

Hey... I didn't get one either...

 

[kevracer]

Yes I got my copy from Pontiac in the mail last night. Very cool. It would have been much better had the mailman not bent it to get it in the box, dammit. I have seen them for sale on eBay, Groucho if you want one.

 

[Tuxedo Mask]

Yeah, i got mine last night from Fed Ex. It's about an 11x17 size and it's stamped with GTO in the middle. It's pretty neat. Keep an eye out for it you guys...and gals

Wow, sorry man, somebody must have pissed in your Cherios. That's why I said "LIKE" 3 seconds, not exactly 3 seconds. And I meant to say the SET button but I didn't, so my fault. Although I figured this out on my own. I haven't even looked at "getting to know your GTO" yet. I don't need the manual for things that are quite easily figured out in LIKE 3 seconds.

Thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately, we are not all blessed with either your obviously God-like powers for devining the electronic Gordian Knot that is the GTO trip computer or your talent for razor-sharp explanatory writing.

But we'll muddle on, somehow.

If memory serves me correctly, this thread was started merely as a question by one of our fellow goat owners, as to how one would reset the trip computer. I politely answered the fellows question, only to be subjected to your inclination to quickly point out a persons lack of accuracy. All of which was done so with a demeaning and degrading tone. I aplogize for my inaccuracies and for the gaul I portrayed for not reading the owners manual.
Also let me just add...









you're a poopy head.

That being said, Groucho, let's let things slide, because after all we are of the same breed, essentially.

We should rise up as one and fight the powers that be.
i.e. Mustang owners, Ricers, etc.

There is no replacement for displacement.

 

[Groucho]

Agreed.

You are cleared HOT and free to engage targets of opportunity.

 

[yesbill]

Ouch!
