What model/year are you referring to? Up through the 2002 models, I don't believe the stalk is used to reset the trip meter - there is a button mounted on the instrument cluster for that purpose. Perhaps it is time to read the fine manual? ;-) /daytripper '00 s4 6spd |

There is also a trip mileage counter on the dash, which is supposed to be reset along with time, fuel economy, etc. when pressing *and holding* the button on the stalk. Just pressing it switches between the "trip" data and the "lifetime" data. -- Mike Smith |

The only trip meter on the B5 A4/S4 is directly adjacent to the odometer, and is cleared with a dash-mounted button, not the stalk... /daytripper '00 s4 6spd |
