Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed. Basic mode
Odometer and tripmeter modes
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeters (A and B) show the dis-
tance traveled since they last reset and
the fuel reserve tripmeter “F” shows the
distance traveled since the fuel level
warning light came on.TIP
The odometer will lock at 99999.

The tripmeters will reset to 0.0 andcounting after 999.9 is reached.
During normal operation, push the “SE-
LECT 2” button to switch the display
between the odometer mode and the
tripmeter modes A and B in the follow-
ing order:

TIPIndicator “ ” comes on when tripmeter
A is selected, and indicator “ ” comeson when tripmeter B is selected.
If the fuel level warning light comes on (see page 3-2), the display will auto-
matically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode “F” and start counting
the distance traveled from that point. In
this case, push the “SELECT 2” button
to switch the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
fuel reserve tripmeter “F”
 odometer
 tripmeter A  tripmeter B  fuel re-
serve tripmeter “F”
TIPThe fuel level warning light may not
function accurately while riding off road
as the fuel level reading changes due to
the movement and inclination of the ve-hicle.
If the fuel level warning light comes on
while riding in the measurement mode,
change to the basic mode and push the
“SELECT 2” button to display the fuel
reserve tripmeter.TIPTo change from the measurement
mode to the basic mode, the stopwatch
and the distance-compensation tripme-
ter must be stopped.
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT 2” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter “F” manually, it will re-
set itself automatically and the display
will return to the prior mode after refuel-
ing and traveling 5 km (3 mi).TIPThe display cannot be switched back to
fuel reserve tripmeter “F” after the fuelreserve tripmeter “F” has been reset.
ClockThe clock uses a 12-hour time system.
