Yeah - I did it the other day trying to set the clock for daylight savings... you twist or press one of those ***** on the intrument panel and hold it in position for a few seconds (I seem to recall it might be the **** on the left that has a little picture of a speedometer on it... the one you press for the odometer. Try turning it and holding it for a few seconds and let us know what happens.)

With the ignition on, hold adjustment button B (upper right of tacho) turned to the left for about 5 seconds.
