    I just got my gauge and I can't figure out how to set it to see my water temp. I need a little help in simple steps since my brain can't figure it out.
    Thanks

    when using the guage function on your screen where you can see up to 4 selections while your driving push the button next to one of the selections until you see fWt. That's your water temp

    Did you change the mode to "hybrid"? If not the ScanGuauge will shut off along with the ICE.

    If you set your temp units to Celcius, then water temp would be the gauge marked cWT

    OK so what should the water operating temp be for the Gen 3? What is the temp symbol for inverter and how do I get to it? What is normal operating temp for inverter?

    There is a thread on XGauge for gen 3 in one of the gen 3 forums. I have a vague impression that the upper inverter T limit being something like 60 or 80C.
