TIPFor the UK only:
The speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays can be switched be-
tween kilometers and miles. To switch
the speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays, press “SELECT” for at
least two seconds.
TripmetersTurn the key to “ON”. Push “SELECT”
to switch the display between the trip-
meters “TRIP-1” and “TRIP-2” in the
following order:
TRIP-1 → TRIP-2 → TRIP-1
When the fuel amount in the fuel tank
decreases to 3.9 L (1.03 US gal,
0.86 Imp.gal), the fuel level warning
light comes on, and the tripmeter auto-
matically changes to the fuel reserve
tripmeter “TRIP-F” and starts counting
the distance traveled from that point. In
that case, push “SELECT” to switch
the display between the various trip-
meters in the following order:
TRIP-F → TRIP-1 → TRIP-2 → TRIP-F
If you continue to ride the vehicle after
the fuel reserve tripmeter “TRIP-F” ap-
pears, the fuel meter and fuel level
warning indicator “ ” start flashing.
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing “SELECT”, and then push “RESET”
for at least one second. If you do not
reset the fuel reserve tripmeter manu-
ally, it resets itself automatically and
the display returns to the prior meter
after refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi). Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel level dis-
played decreases towards “E” (Empty)
as the fuel tank level decreases. When
the fuel amount in the fuel tank de-
creases to 3.9 L (1.03 US gal,
0.86 Imp.gal), the fuel level warning
light comes on. If this occurs, refuel as
soon as possible.
If you continue to ride the vehicle after
the fuel reserve tripmeter “TRIP-F” ap-
pears, the fuel meter and fuel level
warning indicator “ ” start flashing.
Transmission gear indicatorThis indicator shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated
by “ ” and by the neutral indicator
light.
Coolant temperature meterWith the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the coolant temperature warn-
ing light comes on, and the top seg-
