wheels
●Reading the display• Normal display Displays the amount of drive
torque applied to the left and
right rear wheels through bars
that fluctuate in length on the
multi-information display
• Advanced display Displays the difference in
torque applied to the left and
right rear wheels through dis-
played segments on the main
meter in addition to the bar
display.
The greater the number of
segments displayed, the
greater the difference in
torque is.
●Switching the display
To switch to advanced display, press .
To return to normal display, press .
●Peak hold function (a dvanced display only)
If the difference in torque of 4

the currently selected mode will be displayed.
■Torque distribution display
Torque distribution may not be displayed correctly in some cases, such as when the vehi-
cle passes over road expansion joints.
■G-force display
●The G-force values may not be zero even when the vehicle is parked, such as when it is
parked on an incline.
●The steering amount, accelerator pedal input, and brake fluid pressure displays are dis-
abled until the engine has warmed up (the variable red zone of the tachometer has
retracted to 7300 rpm).
After the engine has warmed up, these displays will be enabled.
●Depending on the vehicle usage conditions, the brake fluid pressure display may not
reach its maximum reading even though the brake pedal is fully depressed.
●If a battery terminal is disconnected and reconnected, the steering amount display may
be disabled temporarily. After driving the vehi cle for a while, the display will be enabled.
■Suspension of the settings display
In the following situations, operation of the settings display will be temporarily sus-
pended.
●When a warning message appears on the multi-information display
●When the vehicle begins to move
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the engine switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may also take a few minutes to display the tire infla-
tion pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
●“---” may be displayed if the tire position information cannot be determined due to
unfavorable radio wave conditions.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperat ure. The displayed values may also be dif-
ferent from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.
■When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals
The following information data will be reset:
●Lap timer: Measured lap times, history
●G-force: Record of the maximum G-forces
■Using the lap timer
If the engine is stopped while a lap is being timed, the lap timer will stop and the lap time
up to that point will be recorded.
