CAUTION
If you wish to use DUAL GAUGE in combination with
products in our 3-drive Series (FLAT or COMPACT),
PROGAUGE the “OBD2 Wiring Kit OBD-EH” (sold
separately) makes installation a snap.

Please check the “Fitting List” .
This is due to a special characteristic of the meter and is not a malfunction.
Because after changing displays, if the car’ s engine is turned off within 3 seconds, the new setting will not be

Please reconfirm whether wiring and connections
are correct or not.
Please reconfirm Temperature sensor whether
