INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

The instrument cluster includes the speedometer, indicator lamps, and Multi-Function Display (MFD).

1. Speedometer
2. Indicator Lamps
3. Multi-Function Display

INDICATOR LAMPS

LAMP	INDICATES	CONDITION
	Cruise Control Status	Amber Lamp: Cruise control is enabled, but not set. When flashing, a cruise control-related fault exists. Green Lamp: Cruise control is set to the desired speed. Read the safety and operation procedures before using cruise control. See page 87.
	Turn Signals	One arrow flashes when the corresponding turn signal is activated. Both arrows flash when the hazard signal is activated. If there is a problem in the signal system, the lamps will flash at twice the normal rate.
	Vehicle Speed	When the standard mode is selected, speed displays in miles per hour. When metric mode is selected, speed displays in kilometres per hour.
	High Beam	The headlight switch is set to a high beam. This indicator will flash if there is a problem with the low or high-beam light.
	Neutral	The transmission is in neutral and the power switch is ON.
	Low Fuel	This lamp illuminates when approximately one gallon (3.8 liters) of fuel remains in the fuel tank. The LCD Display will switch into a Low Fuel Mileage Counter Mode to provide the rider with mileage tracking from the time the indicator was activated.
	Sidestand Light	The side stand light will turn on anytime the side stand is down.
	Chassis Fault	The alert symbol illuminates if a chassis fault occurs.
	Low Oil Pressure	This lamp illuminates when oil pressure drops below a safe operating pressure while the engine is running. If this lamp illuminates while the engine is running above idle speed, turn the engine off as soon as safely possible and check the oil level. If the oil level is correct and the lamp remains on after the engine is restarted, turn the engine off immediately. See your dealer.
	Low Battery Voltage	This lamp illuminates when the battery voltage is low. Turn non-essential accessories off to conserve power. Make sure the charging system is operating properly. See page 161. This lamp also illuminates with the security light and/or power switch when the key fob battery is low, and with the TPMS lamp when the TPMS sensor battery is low.
	ABS Not Activated	The indicator remains on until the anti-lock system activates, which occurs when the vehicle speed exceeds 6 MPH (10 km/h). When the lamp is illuminated, the anti-lock brakes will not activate, but the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally.
	Check Engine	This lamp illuminates briefly when the power switch is turned ON. This indicates proper function. If this lamp illuminates while the engine is running, see an authorized dealer promptly. The light will remain on if the tilt sensor shuts down the engine. If abnormal sensor or engine operation is detected the light will remain on as long as the fault condition exists. Retrieve the error codes for diagnosis.
	Security	The security indicator illuminates when the security system is activated.

SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer displays forward vehicle speed in either miles per hour or kilometers per hour.

TACHOMETER
The tachometer displays engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). A red line on the face of the gauge indicates the maximum safe engine speed.
Excessive engine speed can cause engine damage or failure, which could result in serious injury or death. Do not allow engine speed to exceed the red line.

FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY
The fuel gauge displays the fuel level. For the most accurate reading, sit on the motorcycle and bring it to the upright position.
The segments of the fuel gauge q show the level of fuel in the fuel tank. When the last segment clears, a low fuel warning is activated. All segments including the fuel icon will flash. Refuel promptly.

MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY MODES
With the ignition switch on, use the left-hand trigger switch to toggle through the modes of the multi-function display and to change settings in the display.
The following display modes are available:

• Odometer
• Trip Odometer
• Trip Odometer 2
• Engine Speed
• Gear Indicator
• Battery Voltage
• Engine Error Codes
• Average Fuel Economy
• Instant Fuel Economy
• Ride Modes

ODOMETER
The odometer displays the total distance traveled.

TRIP ODOMETER
The trip odometer displays the total distance traveled since being reset. To reset, toggle to the trip odometer, then press and hold the left-hand trigger until the trip odometer resets to zero.

ENGINE SPEED
Engine speed displays in revolutions per minute (RPM).

GEAR INDICATOR
The vehicle’s current gear position is displayed on the MFD.

BATTERY VOLTAGE
Battery voltage displays real-time, regulated charge voltage supplied to the battery. The voltage level may fluctuate depending on the electrical load and engine RPM.

AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY
Average Fuel Economy displays the vehicle’s average fuel economy as of the last time the mode was reset. To reset, press and hold the right-hand trigger while viewing the fuel economy display.

INSTANTANEOUS FUEL ECONOMY
Instantaneous Fuel Economy displays the vehicle’s current fuel economy at the moment the mode was selected.

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE
The temperature area displays the temperature of the air immediately surrounding the motorcycle.

RIDE MODES
You can choose between three ride modes, Tour, Standard, or Sport for an experience customized to your riding style. The throttle map for each ride mode was designed with a specific application in mind, resulting in one motorcycle with three distinct personalities.

NOTICE
For the ride mode to change, the throttle must be fully disengaged. If you change the ride mode while the throttle is engaged, the ride mode icon will flash indicating that the ride mode has not yet changed. Once the throttle is disengaged, the selected mode will stop flashing and the ride mode will change.

TOUR
Tour mode provides a smoother throttle response ideal for riding with a passenger or for long touring rides.

STANDARD
The standard mode features a crisp throttle response and
well-balanced power delivery for responsive passing power and predictable, slow-speed handling.

SPORT
Sport mode is designed for situations when instant response is needed. Sport mode quickens the throttle response and has a more aggressive power delivery for increased acceleration.

REAR CYLINDER DEACTIVATION
Designed as an aid to reduce engine and exhaust heat to the rider, Rear Cylinder Deactivation turns off the rear cylinder when the engine gets hot.
The following conditions must be met for Rear Cylinder Deactivation to be enabled.

• The engine must be up to operating temperature
• Ambient Temperature must exceed 15 C
• Engine speed must remain below 1000 rpm
• Gear position must be 1, 2, or N
• The throttle must be in the closed position (0% throttle)

For models equipped with Ride Command, Rear Cylinder Deactivation can be turned off by accessing the settings menu in the drop-down from the top of the screen. Cylinder Deactivation controls are in the Vehicle Settings menu. When Rear Cylinder Deactivation is functioning, an icon will illuminate at the top of the Ride Command display screen.
For models not equipped with Ride Command, do the following to disable Rear Cylinder Deactivation:

1. Press the right-hand trigger until “CYLdeAC” displays.
2. Hold down the right-hand trigger. “CD ON” or “CD OFF” will display.
3. Toggle to turn cylinder deactivation on or off. Press and hold hand right-hand trigger to save settings.
   1. CYLdeAC ON: The rear cylinder can deactivate
   2. CYLdeAC OFF: The rear cylinder cannot deactivate

MISFIRE DETECTION
If a misfire is detected, the check engine indicator lamp will begin to flash and fuel will be cut to the affected cylinder(s). The check engine indicator lamp will continue to flash until the ignition switch has been moved to the off position. Restarting the engine will clear the flashing indicator and restore fuel to both cylinders. If another misfire occurs, the check engine indicator lamp will resume flashing and fuel will once again be cut to the affected cylinder(s). After the 3rd misfire, P0314 misfire fault is determined & set, the check engine light will remain on and fuel will be cut to the affected cylinder(s). If this occurs, your INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer can assist.
