The G-force values may not be zero even when the vehicle is parked, such as when it is

parked on an incline.

●

The steering amount, accelerator pedal input, and brake fluid pressure displays are dis-

abled until the engine has warmed up (the variable red zone of the tachometer has

retracted to 7300 rpm).

After the engine has warmed up, these displays will be enabled.

●

Depending on the vehicle usage conditions, the brake fluid pressure display may not

reach its maximum reading even though the brake pedal is fully depressed.

●

If a battery terminal is disconnected and reconnected, the steering amount display may

be disabled temporarily. After driving the vehicle for a while, the display will be enabled.

It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the engine switch is

turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may also take a few minutes to display the tire infla-

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 temperature. 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

up to that point will be recorded.

WARNING

■

Caution for use while driving

●

When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra attention to the

safety of the area around the vehicle.

●

Do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving as you may fail

to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.

■

Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that the vehicle

is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such as a garage,

exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the

vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

NOTICE

■

During setting up the display
To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting up the dis-

play features.
