The Driving Coach is a special feature designed to be your fuel economy dashboard and information center. It provides real-time visual and audio
feedback about driving eciency and where energy is being lost. The driving coach will help you understand the optimal conditions for your
particular vehicle through real-time observation, giving you the power to maximize your vehicle’s fuel economy.
40430
GT for Hemi Plus
Two hidden bonuses of driving more eciently are: saving money on fuel and helping the environment!
Before the Driving Coach can give you accurate information, it is important to make sure that the GT is showing the correct speed. In the
sections below, you will nd specic instructions for using the Driving Coach to become the best driver you can be.
Set Economy Goal
This option will allow you to select a fuel economy goal. The Driving Coach will use the economy goal to calculate your driving grade.
It is very important to select an economy goal that is realistic for both your vehicle and the kind of driving you will be doing. If you will be driving mainly
in the city or on the highway, choose a goal that is very close to the advertised fuel eciency for your vehicle in that type of environment. If you will be
doing a mixture, choose an economy goal between the advertised city and highway mileage for your car.
Reset Average Economy
This option will clear the values stored in the GT for the average fuel economy, the number of gallons used, and the grade in the Driving Coach.

Driving Coach Setup (continued)
GT for Hemi Plus
Checking Speedometer Accuracy
First: Change the Gauge Setup to have the Speed displayed on the main display screen. See page 8 for more information about changing the
information displayed on the main display screen.
Next: Go to a safe place with little to no trac where you can perform a speed test. Make sure the speed limit is at least 60 mph. Here are two dierent
ways to nd out your vehicle’s actual speed:
Method 1: GPS
1. Use a GPS device to compare your actual speed and the speed displayed on the Bully Dog.
2. Calculate the Percent Difference by using this formula:
Percent dierence =
Example 1: A GPS device reads 65 mph and the GT reads 62 mph for one single moment.
Step 1. Percent dierence =
Step 2. Percent dierence =
Step 3. Percent dierence = .046 or 4.6% then round up 5%
GT speed - GPS Speed
GPS Speed
62 - 65
65
-3
65
Method 2: Stopwatch
1. Use a Stop Watch to measure how long it takes to travel one mile while traveling at 60 mph according to the GT.
Accelerate up to a speed of 60 mph (as shown on the GT)
While traveling at that constant speed, record the amount of time in seconds that it takes to travel exactly one mile.
*Use highway mile markers to ensure that your one mile measurement is correct.
40430
2. Record the time.
3. Calculate the Percent Difference.
If it takes 60 seconds to travel one mile
at 60 mph, then the GT is accurately
reading your vehicle speed.
If it takes 2 seconds more or less than
60 seconds to travel one mile, then use
the formula to the right to calculate the
Percent Dierence.
Once you have calculated the Percent Dierence, you can use that information to adjust
the speed display as described below
To calculate the percent dierence use this formula:
Percent dierence =
Example 1: Using a stop watch the actual time it took to drive one mile while traveling at
60 mph according to the GT was 63 seconds.
Step 1. Percent dierence =
Step 2. Percent dierence =
Step 3. Percent dierence =
Recorded Time - 60 seconds
60 seconds
63 - 60

.05 or 5.0%
Adjusting the Speed Display
1. Use one of the methods described in the previous section to determine the exact percentage dierence between the GT and your actual speed.
2. Choose the opposite percentage in the Adjust Speed Display menu.
For example, if the dierence between your actual speed and the speed displayed on the GT was 5%, you should choose -5% (negative ve percent).
14
Driving Coach Setup (continued)
Checking Average Fuel Economy
It is important to check the accuracy of the average economy readout on the GT at least once every changing season. There are many reasons to check
and adjust the average fuel economy, here is one example: The fuel delivered to gas stations during the winter contains an average of 1.3% less energy
than the fuel delivered in warmer seasons. That means that the same amount of liquid is going into the tank, but it is 1.3% less eective, on average.
40430
There are many similar factors that aect your fuel eciency that you cannot control and the GT cannot sense or adjust for. That is why it is important to
adjust the fuel economy of the GT every once in a while.
GT for Hemi Plus
1. Go to the gas station and get a full tank of gas.
2. Reset both of the following gauges before driving away from the gas station:
4. Drive the vehicle for an entire tank (or two)
5. Calculate your vehicle’s average fuel economy by hand using the following equation:
To adjust the Average Fuel Economy displayed by the GT, follow these steps:
• NOTE: If the speedometer on the vehicle is not accurate,
then the odometer will also be incorrect. You will need
to be able to calculate the exact number of miles driven
before your next refill.
- The Average Economy on your GT.
- The trip odometer on your vehicle.
6. Use the equation below to calculate the Percent Difference between the average fuel economy that you have calculated and the
average fuel economy that is displayed by your GT.
Adjust the Average Fuel Economy
Follow the steps listed below to change the average fuel economy that is displayed by the GT:
1. Go to the Main Menu
2. Choose Vehicle Setup
3. Choose Adjust Economy Display
4. Use the buttons on the right to move up and down the percentages
5. Choose a percent value that is the opposite sign of the Percent Difference that you calculated using the equation above.
- For example, if you determine that the Percent Difference is 14%, you should choose -14%.
