In a few seconds you should see where your mileage is start to flash numbers... something like 11111111, 22222222, etc.

You will start to notice the RPM gauge and all of your other gauges start to move, what this is doing is resetting all of your gauges, your speedometer should move the opposite way if it is stuck behind the peg.
