First, push and hold the START button without your foot on the brake and wait for it turns completely on
- Go to the VEHICLE or INFO tab menu

Now it’s going to say are you sure you want to reset. So you’re going to use the right arrow to go over to YES and click on that so you’ll see how it’s back up to 100
