Default PV tripmeter.

Seems strange, as well as the regular mileometer there's a trip meter but doesn't seem any way to zero it. Am I missing something? Would be useful as the PV has a small gas tank and it would be nice to keep an eye on mileage.

Should be a short stiff cable with a brass knob on the end coming downwards from the speedo to about the lower dash edge. Pull the knob down and turn it to zero the trip.

Thanks. Found it tucked behind the dash panel hidden in the wiring. No knob but that's not a problem. Not mentioned in my handbook, certainly not easy to find or user friendly.
