    Stupidest question ever asked. How the heck do you reset the trip meters? This is actually the first fill-up for my '15 Challenger. It looks like some of the readings reset automatically when you refill. I'm used to pushing in the old fashioned knob by the odometer.
    Thanks!

    I haven't messed with a 15 yet, but you should be able to hold down a button on your steering wheel until its reset. Go to the trip miles, then hold a button down. Not sure which one. I see what I can find out on the interwebs...

    I've looked on line and in the owners manual. It has a digital display with no push buttons of any kind other than on the steering wheel. Oh the good 'ol days when you could just push in a button.

    Its has to be one of the buttons on the steering wheel. Try holding down the OK or Cancel button on the wheel and see if that works?

    Go back and have your sales guy show you. This is the thing about the sales guy....they don't really know $^#t about the cars that they sell. But Shaggy is right that is the way I do it on my 11 Black Mamba. I bet the sales guy didn't inform you that your touch screen can play DVD's or that by taking traction control off and turning ECO mode off that you can harness the "Factory" power of the ride.

    Not a bad idea. They should know all this and can fill you in on all the little things that most isn't covered on the forums yet.

    I'm sure you figured it out, but for others,,,,,,, you use the "Back" button on the steering wheel to enter the menu for the information center display.

    Then you use the up or down button to get to Trip Info and then select the lines you want to reset

    I think sometimes they make things more complicated than they have to be. I guess with real-time gas mileage tracking and range; the trip meter pretty much goes unused.
