Buttons on Steering Wheel
I purchased a new HHR 2LT yesterday. The car was a dealer trade and was sitting on their showroom floor with 140 miles on it. I drove it around a little (yesterday) getting used to button locations, handling, etc.
This morning I get into the car and the digital readout on the dash was at the fuel economy position. I wanted to switch it ot the main position that showed outside temp and odometer. The menu button on the steering wheel would not allow me to scroll through the different positions. The rest of the buttons appear to work (cruise, radio).
I will be taking this to the dealer, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue.

News to me. Not to sound mean or anything but are you sure that you are using them right? I have learned that if you are driving the car then you can only use certain areas of that function. While stopped at a light I was playing with them but whenI went to drive it changed and while driving I could not change some features, hope that helps ya!

Look at the Book. I know there is a set-up page for it. I'm at work now so I cant tell you the exact page. I will look it up later. You are quickly pressing the menu betton right? Plus is your Doors Open or closed? Is the car started? Or on Aux? I'm just curious about the factors

It should normally work in that condition. I usually flip back and fourth to my MPG and AVG speed. Try to hold down the menu button for a few seconds, then hold down the return button, then press the menu button again.

If that doesn't work, take your right hand thumb and place it at the base of your nose between your nostrils with your remaining fingers (assuming 4) pointed upwards. Then take your left arm and hang it out the driverside window. Be careful not to stab your armpit with the door lock.
The next step is the most critical, so try to do it exactly as I describe.
Wait until someone is within 50 feet of your HHR, then quickly thrust your head out the window and begin hollering while at the same time wiggling the fingers on your right hand.
DO NOT remove your right thumb from the base of your nose. If you think you are up to it, try waving your left arm over your head at the same time.
If done correctly, your problem should be solved ...
