Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Somehow, my green speed control icon came up and the owner's manual says to press "A" which is the knob to reset the miles to zero.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

2 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Somehow, my green speed control icon came up and the owner's manual says to press "A" which is the knob to reset the miles to zero. Pressing "A" by itself doesn't do anything for it... What exactly am I suppose to do to the knob to get it off the dash? Thank you in advance. :ah:

POST 2Original post

Do you mean the cruise control light? (Sorry if I'm misunderstanding) If so, push the button on the tip (end) of the cruise control stalk to turn off cruise.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That worked! I must have confused the item in the manual. I am still getting use to it being called speed control instead of cruise control.....LOL I thought these cars had something that "dinged" when a set speed is met (e.g. 65 MPH). I am still figuring things out, but adding miles to the car everyday it doesn't rain!!! thanks

POST 4Original post

It's called the speed gong, and you have to have the OBC functioning to have it. It's a useless option, mainly because you can't hear it unless you're actually watching your speed and listening for it... if you're doing that, what do you need it for? Plus, it only 'gongs' once, it's not like it stays going until you drop below the threshold. Seems the engineers just wanted to load up the OBC with as many features as they could, useless or not. Too bad they didn't make it an ET clock instead.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
