Pushing it activates a little motor (actuator) which resets the gears to 'zero'. Doing it while in motion can 'grind' the plastic odometer gears.

I was afraid that's what it would do but wasn't sure Joe!
Thanks for the precision Craig.

it can even break the old gears while not moving.... its one hell of a magnetic actuator.

If you own a 1989 or newer model, the ODO is digital; no gears that can be destroyed.

I'm guessing you don't have the original Owner's Manual for your car?
