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

TVD (Torque Vectoring Differential) (GS F)
With the engine switch in IGNITION
ON mode, pressing the TVD switch
changes the TVD control mode.
The current TVD control mode will be
displayed on the meters.
STANDARD mode
This is the default mode and provides
an optimum balance of driving agility
and stability.
SLALOM mode
This mode emphasizes enhanced
steering response.
TRACK mode
This mode emphasiz
es stability for
high speed sporty driving.
The multi-information display shows the di stribution of driving force between the
right and left rear wheels. ( P. 119)
The TVD system distributes driving force (torque) between the right an\
d left
rear wheels automatically. This syst em contributes to enhanced steering
response while cornering and increased traction when exiting a corner, pro-
viding an agile driving experience.
