1. Turn on the ignition and wait for the BMW logo to appear on the onboard display.
2. Press and hold the trip odometer reset button until the onboard display shows 'RESET?'.
3. Release the button and press and hold it again until 'RESET?' flashes.
4. Release the button and press and hold it for a third time until the display shows 'OK'.
