Auto manufacturers go to a lot of trouble to make sure people don't try to fraudulently roll back odometer miles to make a car look less "worn out" than it really is. There is no easy way to roll back an odometer other than to just replace it.
Mostly all the vehicles that I have worked on with a digital odometer cannot be lowered. Their is an actual manual odometer that reads to the engine computer that sends digital readout to the odometer, that cannot be reset or changed if you were to try to it would disable the vehicle and would need to be taken to the manufacturer garage for service to reset computer but would still give old odometer reading. If the computer were to come out of another car the odometer still wouldn't change. Government is very very strict with odometers these days. I disagree with above that digital odometers "can't" be tampered with, indeed they can provided the right hardware/software is available, many digital odometers can be manipulated through a connection made on the cars diagnostic plug or through connections made to the instrument panel cluster. A search of the internet will show up many companies that sell hardware/software to do digital odometers
TS = OR * CTD / STD Where: TS = True Speed OR = Odometer Reading CTD = Diameter of the current tires on your car STD = Diameter of the Standard Tire for your car.
Here is how you reset it on an Accord so I would think it would be the same on an Element. Push and hold the odometer reset button while at the same time turning the ignition on without starting the engine. After 5 seconds the light will reset.
Driven out of the dealership, it would be expected to have maybe 10km on it (from a quick google). I was reading a thread (link attached) where someone had 50km on their odometer. When they actually start you would expect 0, but that may not be realistic.
Not sure if this helps or not but on a 2005 Toyota Sienna LE, the dash-light dimmer switch is actually the trip odometer reset switch. Turning the trip odometer reset switch left or right controls the dash-light levels. Had it not been for the factory manual, and Google, I would have never known this.

"you push the Trip Odometer button until the total miles (not trip miles) is displayed. Then turn off the car and hold the Odometer/Trip Odometer select button donw while you push the Power Button twice to get to Ignition On and continue holding the Odometer/Trip Odometer for five additional seconds."In the case of our 2010 RAV4, a mobile mechanic in orange county, ca was reseting for me today the odometer had to be in the "trip A" not the ODO vehicle miles displayed,tried it three times with the ODO displaying total miles and it would not reset, then did the same procedure but had the ODO in trip "A" and it worked first time perfectly.You will know it worked because the "maint" light will flash and then go out, shut off the ignition and start the car to confirm it has reset (the "maint" light will go out after starting the car).
why would a speedometer and odometer not work on a suzuki motorcycle?
It is illegal to disconnect an odometer. Why would you want to do this?
In many states in the U.S. it is illegal to tamper with the odometer of an automobile in any way that would prevent it from correctly and accurately reading the vehicle's true mileage. In keeping with WikiAnswers policy of not answering illegal or illicit queries, it would be best for you to seek your answer elsewhere.
You don't, and if you could, it would be highly illegal.
You can easily reset the settings on your iPod by either going to the reset feature on the iPod itself. Alternatively, you can use the iTunes software to do a complete reset, including deleting music.
