check the manual-or search the threads around here-you can change the distance/time set up, turn it off completely, ect.....iirc-with the car off-cycle thru until the wrench comes up, hold it in for 3-5 sec (beep) and it "should" reset. If not-do the same start, then push in 3 times to access the menu.

so...the check engine light is on? I guess I never saw a SES light on my dash...if thats the case-take what ever mod you just put on off.....and check the vac and boost hoses.....if it wont turn off after the battery has been reset...thats not good.

After start with handbrake on.. press the info button until you get to the toolbox thing.. press and hold ..

The language selector is one of the menu items .. 3rd or 4th I think .. press and hold .. you'll see a selection of languages coming up .. .. take your pick

LOLZ!!!!!!!! That's too funny. I always laugh when I see people with asian character tatoos because I bet asian people see it and they're like, "what a retard." I bet half these people just picked it out of a book because they thought it looked cool, and for all they know it says, "I am a goat ********."
