Guys, guys, Yes it's the trip meter button.

OH NO!
I am again getting the same error, this time, it is much more terrible. The new "zero" is 40KMPH!!
Also, as someone asked before, yes, there is a little zero error in the tachometer as well, it is like 2-3mm (not very significant but still visibly clear).
I fail to understand why such supposedly "sturdy and long-lasting" parts are failing within the first month of ownership?
Any other Fiesta owners facing such a problem?

Phew!
Its been almost a month since the first service. There, they hooked up their Diagnostic Device to the slot below the steering wheel and claimed that they have "reset" the electricals and that everything should be fine and indeed it has been.

I can happily say that the speedometer issue is sorted, No Zero Error anywhere on the Console. Ta-Da!
