STEP 02

Use the physical control if preferred

On OS8/8.5, press the top-left button on the left steering-column switch to display trip data, then hold it until the values reset. On OS9, show trip data in the instrument cluster and hold the steering-wheel knurled wheel until reset.

Check the intended display

Confirm the trip values changed before starting the next recorded interval. BMW also identifies the BC button or OS9 knurled wheel as the manual G-Meter reset control. Do not confuse a trip reset with resetting a service requirement or deleting vehicle data.
