![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
What does pressing the select and reset buttons do at the same time for at least ten seconds in the II position? I heard a beep then the temperature gauge changed from -2, -1, 0.

Hello,
I have done this before by accident I tried to reset the maint. light.
I think it is to adjust the temperture so it will have a more accurate reading.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Hope I helped.

But what's the point of that? Let's say the temp is 10.. u adjust it to +1 . I suppose it reads 11 now.. BUT why do u want to adjust it? You think u r more accurate than the car ?

i can be higher than what the actual temp is simply cuz the sensor is located on the front bumper where all the heat is from car exhaust. i do notice what is reported on the radio is usually lower than what i see displayed in the dash. i adjusted mine 1C less.

but how do I know for sure? I find that when the car is sitting for long periods of time, the temp gauge will read wayyy higher than it actually is. As soon as I begin to drive a bit, the temp drops like 5-7 degrees.
Should I adjust it? I don't want to fu(k anything up.

My owners manual says that holding these two buttons with the key in II resets the "service required" light. It did exactly that, the light went off. Not sure about this the Temp reset?
