In that case, push "SELECT" to switch the display between the various tripmeters 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" appears, the fuel meter and fuel level warning indicator " " start flashing.

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. If this occurs, refuel as soon as possible. If you continue to ride the vehicle after the fuel reserve tripmeter "TRIP-F" appears, the fuel meter and fuel level warning indicator " " start flashing. Transmission gear indicator This indicator shows the selected gear. The neutral position is indicated by " " and by the neutral indicator light. Coolant temperature meter With the key in the "ON" position, the coolant temperature meter indicates the temperature of the coolant.
