Calibrating DriveRight Devices

A DriveRight device must be properly calibrated to accurately record trip
information. The DriveRight User’s Guide includes information on calibrating a
DriveRight device in the vehicle. You can also calibrate a DriveRight device using
FMS if you have some basic information about the vehicle.

Note: CarChips receive vehicle speed from the OBDII computer and do not require calibration.
