Confirm the vehicle is listed in the active fleet under the Vehicles tab
Setting the Initial Odometer
Note: For vehicles older than 2022 the true odometer may not be available and so the device is unable to pick it up. You will use the calculated odometer option and enter the odometer information you noted in the vehicle's dashboard and enter it in the Initial Odometer field located in the Vehicle details.
