■Meter layout
The speedometer and tachometer are located in the center of the meter, serving
as the primary interface between the vehicle and the driver. The engine coolant
temperature and the engine oil temperature gauges are located at the top of
each corner, while the engine oil pressure gauge is located below the engine oil
temperature gauge. This minimizes eye motion, allowing the driver to understand the
vehicle’s condition at a glance.

■Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge displays the amount of fuel remaining on a scale of 0 to 1/1. The
saddle-shaped fuel tank consists of a main tank compartment and a sub-tank
compartment. When the fuel level drops to approximately 2.9 gal. (11 L, 2.4 Imp. gal.)
between both compartments, the bar display will blink in amber to inform the driver
that the remaining fuel level is low. In this state, the remaining amount of fuel is directed
into the main tank compartment in order to ensure a stable supply of fuel to the engine
even under high cornering G-loads.

Blinks when remaining fuel drops to approx. 2.9 gal. (11 L, 2.4 Imp. gal.)
The main tank compar tment and sub-tank compar tment each have their own
individual sender gauges to monitor the fuel levels. The ECU calculates the total
amount of fuel remaining from both of these sensors and informs the driver using
the fuel gauge. The ECU digitally processes the fuel level data in order to display a
clear and accurate fuel level even when the fuel level fluctuates under high cornering
G-loads.
