|
Vehicle Speed | When the standard mode is selected, speed displays in miles per hour. |
|
|
When metric mode is selected, speed displays in kilometers 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. |
|
|
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) | The TPMS indicator illuminates if low tire pressure is detected. It will also illuminate along with the Low Battery Voltage indicator when TPMS battery power is low, requiring service. |
|
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. |
