Default ScanGauge Help!

Well i've had my scangauge for about 2 weeks now and loving it. but i notice there isnt that feature where it tells u "Miles to Empty". I think i messed with the settings up so i went to "use default" and reseted the whole thing. my tankis currently full, so now what do i do?

You'll have to go through a few tanks before it gets accurate, basically calibrating it to your car.
Each time you fill up, enter in how many gallons you put in.

you dork... that's where you calibrate the gas tank... that has nothing to do with showing "miles to empty"

completely wrong place dude.
RTFM..

go to the main menu... and look at your TRIP info...
press lower left button until it shows TANK... and then use the upper buttons to scroll until it shows "miles to empty"

You shouldn't use th scangauge to measure hhow much gas is left bechause it doesn't know how much is left. It uses previous statistics and the mpg to ESTIMATE how much gas youhave left.

But once you calibrate it to your car, that estimate is pretty darn close.
