ELECTRONIC CONTROL-RELATED FEATURES

All of the instrument function displays have been concentrated into a single 4.2-inch screen that adopts

a fully transmissive Thin Film Transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display.

A white background and a black background can be selected for the background illumination, and the

display also features automatic brightness adjustment activated by a sensor that measures ambient

light conditions.

For the display mode, there is also a choice between a "Street" mode with a priority on displaying infor-

mation needed for riding on public roads, and a "Track" mode with a priority on information desired for

racing or circuit riding.

The "Street" mode features items like a gear position display, with a fade-out, fade-in type transition

when the gear is shifted, and is designed to add analog elements with a natural visual appearance even

though it is a fully digital display. In addition, the tachometer bar display is designed to change color

with the engine's rpm range in order to give a perceptual recognition of the engine's current rpm at any

given moment.

Items that can be displayed include the odometer, tripmeters, intake air temperature, coolant tempera-

ture, real-time fuel efficiency, average fuel efficiency and amount of fuel consumed.
