You must calibrate the unit before it will report the correct speed and acceleration. 
Calibration adjusts the unit to work properly with your vehicle’s differential and tire 
size. 

 

NOTE:

 

You should calibrate the unit whenever you change tires.

 

Calibrating the unit may be accomplished in one of two ways: using either the 
odometer or the speedometer as the basis for calibration. When calibrating the 
DriveRight, 

 

always

 

 begin by obtaining a rough calibration of the unit using the 

speedometer. Even if you plan to calibrate the unit using the odometer, 

 

first

 

 cali-

brate using the speedometer. Otherwise, the uncalibrated distance reading may 
differ from your odometer reading so much that it will take too long to make the 
numbers match.

 

Calibration Using the Speedometer

 

In order to calibrate using the speedometer, you must drive steadily at 25 MPH 
(40 km/h) and press a button on the DriveRight 130AL. The DriveRight 
130AL bases its calibration on the speed of the vehicle at the moment of calibra-
tion which it assumes to be 25 MPH (40 km/h).

 

NOTE:

 

Because of the nature of this calibration procedure, we strongly recommend 

that it be performed by two people: one to drive the vehicle and one to oper-

 

ate the DriveRight 130AL.

 

1. If necessary, press and hold 

 

MODE

 

 down to access the settings 

screens.

2. If necessary, press and release 

 

MODE

 

 until the Calibration screen 

appears.

 

The calibration speed (25 or 40) appears at the bottom right of the display. 
The uncalibrated speed reading appears at the top of the display, along with 
the unit of measure (MPH or km/h). Note that until you calibrate the Drive-
Right 130AL this speed reading will be inaccurate. The distance, which 
appears in the lower left of the display, is not necessary for this calibration 
procedure.
