There is no setting to switch between English and Metric units. UltraGauge

supports both simultaneously. This allows
either or both to be displayed. For example, if you wish to display KPH and MPH, simply select KPH and MPH from the gauge
selection menu.

There are three “ignition on” or “Power On” detection modes, and there are three “ignition off” or “Power Off” modes. When the
ignition is switched to OFF, UltraGauge
B
B
l
l
u
u
e
e

enters a low power mode (within 15 seconds) and will set the LEDs as follows:
The Power and Attention LEDs will be on solid
The Bluetooth and Activity LEDs will be off
If after the vehicle’s ignition switch is set to OFF, UltraGauge
B
B
l
l
u
u

remains on, please see the “Power On Detection” section.
When the ignition is switched from OFF to START, UltraGauge

will detect this in 1-6 seconds and power back on. If

During the scanning and gauge discovery process, UltraGauge determines the most accurate means to calculate fuel usage based
upon the various vehicle sensors available. Normally no intervention or configuration is necessary. However, in rare cases, some
vehicles may mis-report the presence of a particular sensor which UltraGauge will then attempt to use to calculate the various
mileage gauges, such as Instantaneous MPG, Average MPG, Gallons/Hour, etc. When this issue is present, many of the mileage
gauges may display inaccurately or as “Err”. Other gauges such as engine temperature, RPM, MPH, etc., will display correctly.
This is common on many large Diesel Ford trucks. If seen, please see the “Force MPG Sensor” section for more information

For best results, UltraGauge should be calibrated for both distance measurements and fuel measurement. See the following section:
“Vehicle Calibration”. Diesel vehicles must perform fuel calibration otherwise MPG and fuel gauges will be dramatically
inaccurate. Vehicles which use a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor instead of a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor should also
see the following section: “VE Enable (MAP only)” and “VE RPM (MAP only)”.
To determine which sensor your vehicle uses refer to the
Vehicle Information
section.

When the UltraGauge
B

l
l
u

e
e
TM
Adapter is connected to the OBDII connector it begins scanning for the protocol supported. Once
found, the UltraGauge
B
B
l

e

Mobile Application then discovers the available gauges. There are two discovery modes: Enhanced &
Safe. By default Enhanced is selected and recommended. By selecting Settings
UltraGauge Settings
Safe Mode Gauge
Discovery, you may enable Safe Mode. UltraGauge will use the chosen mode for all future gauge discoveries (regardless of the
vehicle connected).
