press the button on the dials that resets the trip miles, that will sort it.

Is that it? Thought it was for something really technical!! Wonder how much Renault would charge to do that?

to enter test mode...card in slot, press computer stalk, press start button for 2 secs.
so easily done by accident.
to cancel test mode...press the trip mileage reset button (on the rev counter surround).

i think it's a different sequence to start/stop for facelift models ?

The steering not locking, or at least the message "Steering Not Locked" can be attributed to the wiring under either front seat. I had this in combination with the airbag and service light. Fiddling with the wiring under my driver side seat and the connector that's just under the carpet cleared it. I know others have experienced this where it was under the passenger side seat.
