At the next fuel fill-up, fill the fuel tank and note the number of gallons/liters used (pumped). (Always use
the same fuel station and the same fuel pump)

Select MENU --> Vehicle Setup.. --> Calibration.. --> Calibrate MPG/Fuel, and change the value displayed
to the amount of total sum of fuel recorded in step #7. Press MENU when complete to set and save the
calibration.

Make note of the calibration factor displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you should ever need to clear your configuration, the
calibration factor can be used directly to set the calibration. Simply jump to step #10 and increase or decrease the reported gallons
until the calibration factor matches.
Ethanol fuel :
Ethanol blends have less energy in the same volume of fuel. Switching between blended and unblended fuel will
result in inaccurate fuel usage for vehicles which have a MAP sensor and no MAF* sensor. It is recommended to either avoid
Ethanol fuel blends, or use only Ethanol fuel blends. Experience has shown that Ethanol results in reduced fuel economy.
* To determine if your vehicle has a MAF sensor, access the menu;

Resets the MPG/Fuel Calibration factor to the factory default of 1.000. Use this to restore the calibration factor if the
MPG/Fuel Calibration is performed improperly.

Calibrate Distance
Use this menu item to calibrate all Distance Gauges. This calibration also directly affects the accuracy of all Speed, MPG and
DTE gauges. This calibration is especially necessary for vehicles which no longer have the stock wheels, tire sizes,
transmission, or rear-end differential.. This calibration will also compensate for inaccuracies in stock speed sensor and the
vehicle’s distance measurement system.
Perform this Calibration prior to all other calibrations.
**** Calibration can not be performed unless a distance of at least 4 Kilometers or 2.5 miles have been driven. ****
To perform the distance calibration follow this procedure:
1.
Align front tire with first mile marker
2.
Reset the trip gauges:
MENU
Gauge Menu
Zero All Trip
3.
EXIT THE MENU
4.
Travel to the next mile marker (at 50+MPH), aligning the front tire to the mile marker

7.
Press
Menu
to save and set the calibration
Once saved, the calibration factor will be displayed at the bottom of the display.
Many roads will have mile markers, but avoid roads that are not straight. Generally more markers will improve accuracy.
The greater your speed between mile markers the better the accuracy of the distance calibration
*
If you chose to travel several mile markers, then enter in the number of miles actually driven, for example, 3.000 miles.
NOTE:
Unplugging UltraGauge after calibration will not cause loss of calibration.
NOTE:
Using the vehicle’s odometer to perform this calibration is pointless since the odometer and UltraGauge receive
distance information from the same source; the vehicle’s ECM.
NOTE:
For best accuracy travel between markers at a high rate of speed.(50+MPH)
