TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (rpm) . Do not rev engine into
the red zone
1.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, reduce engine speed. Operating the
engine in the red zone may cause serious
engine damage.
FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel level
in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
The low fuel warning light comes on when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge regis-
ters 0 (Empty) .The
indicates that the fuel-filler door is
located on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
●If the vehicle runs out of fuel, theMalfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible.
After a few driving trips. the

ASSIST CHARGE GAUGE
The Assist Charge Gauge indicates the condition
of the electric motor. When the needle is be-
tween the center and “charge” (
1range) , this
indicates that the electric motor is generating
power to recharge the Li-ion battery.
When the needle is between the center and the
PWR side, this indicates that the electric motor is
powering the drive wheels and the Li-ion battery
is discharging.Push the
button for about 1 second when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position to
toggle the compass direction display
1on or
off. The display will indicate the direction that the
vehicle is heading.
N: North
E: East
S: South
W: West
If the display reads “C”, calibrate the compass by
driving the vehicle in 3 complete circles at less
than 5 MPH (8 km/h).You can also calibrate the compass by driving
your vehicle on your everyday route. The com-
pass will be calibrated once it has tracked 3
complete circles.

ZONE VARIATION CHANGE
PROCEDURE
The difference between magnetic north and geo-
graphical north is known as variance. In some
areas, this difference can sometimes be great
enough to cause false compass readings. Followthese instructions to set the variance for your
particular location if this happens:
1. Press and hold thebutton for about
11 seconds or the
button for about
8 seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display. Release the button.2. Find your current location on the zone map.
Refer to the illustration.
3. Press the
or thebutton repeat-
edly to toggle through the zone numbers
until the desired number appears in the dis-
play. Once you have selected a zone num-
ber, the display will show a compass direc-
tion within a few seconds.
Inaccurate compass direction:
The compass display is equipped with automatic
correction function. If the correct direction is not
shown, follow this procedure.
1. With the display turned on, press and hold
the
button for about 13 seconds or
the
for about 10 seconds. The “C”
icon in the compass display will illuminate.
2. Calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle
in three complete circles at a maximum
speed of 8 km/h (5 MPH) .
3. After completing the circles, the display
should return to normal.
