DiabloSport Predator, User Manual

Installing the Performance Tune
Predator contains several predefined DiabloSport Tunes. These
are thoroughly tested and approved by DiabloSport. You have a
choice of either installing the DiabloSport Tune “as-is” into your
vehicle, or customizing it to your personal taste.
If you are satisfied with your factory tuned vehicle and only
have a desire to modify a parameter or two (example: change
gear ratio), you might want to read the chapter ‘Customizing
the Factory Tune’.
Before you install any tune into your vehicle, when you use
the Predator for the first time, it will read the Original Factory
Tune out of your vehicle and permanently store it in its memory.
This process takes a minute or two. For safety reasons, there
is no way to overwrite this backup and therefore the Predator
becomes ‘married’ to, and only to, your vehicle until original
backup is restored.
If there is ever a need to send the Predator back to DiabloSport,
for any reason, the Original Backup must be put back into your
vehicle, as described in the section Reinstalling the Original
Factory Backup’, otherwise your Predator will not be accepted
back by the reseller. To find out, which tune was last written to
your vehicle, go to ‘Predator Options / Show Last Tune Written’
in the Predator.
