If the fuel level warning light comes on, the
odometer display will automatically change to
the fuel reserve tripmeter mode ”F-TRIP” and
start counting the distance traveled from that
point. In that case, push the ”SELECT” button to
switch the display between the various tripme-
ter, odometer, and stopwatch modes in the fol-
lowing order:
F-TRIP
Stopwatch

NOTE: Self-diagnosis devices
The model is equipped with a self-diagnosis device for various electrical circuits. If any of those circuits
are defective, the engine trouble warning light will come on, and then the right display will indicate a
two-digit error code (e.g.,11,12,13).
Display brightness and shift timing indicator light control mode
This mode cycles through five control functions, allowing you to make the following settings in the order
listed below.

Display brightness:
This function allows you to adjust the brightness of the displays and tachometer to suit the outside
lighting conditions.

Shift timing indicator light activity:
This function allows you to choose whether or not the indicator light should be activated and whether
it should flash or stay on when activated.

Shift timing indicator light activation:
This function allows you to select the engine speed at which the indicator light will be activated.

Shift timing indicator light deactivation:
This function allows you to select the engine speed at which the indicator light will be deactivated.

Shift timing indicator light brightness:
This function allows you to adjust the brightness of the indicator light to suit your preference.

To make any settings in this mode, you have to cycle through all of its functions. However, if the key is
turned to “OFF” or the engine is started before completing the procedure, only the settings made be-
fore the “SELECT” button was last pushed will be applied.

In this mode, the right display shows the current setting for each function (except the shift timing indi-
cator light activity function).
To adjust the brightness of the multifunction meter displays and tachometer
1. Turn the key to “OFF”.
2. Push and hold the “SELECT” button.
3. Turn the key to “ON”, and then release the “SELECT” button after five seconds.
4. Push the “RESET” button to select the desired brightness level.
5. Push the “SELECT” button to confirm the selected brightness level. The control mode changes to
the shift timing indicator light activity function.
To set the shift timing indicator light activity function
1. Push the “RESET” button to select one of the following indicator light activity settings:

The indicator light will stay on when activated. (This setting is selected when the indicator light stays
on.)

The indicator light will flash when activated. (This setting is selected when the indicator light flashes
four times per second.)

The indicator light is deactivated; in other words, it will not come on or flash. (This setting is selected
when the indicator light flashes once every two seconds.)
2. Push the ”SELECT” button to confirm the selected indicator light activity. The control mode changes
to the shift timing indicator light activation function.
