- Speedometer

- Engine coolant temperature gauge
- Fuel gauge
- Meter illumination
Meter and Illumination Operations During Engine-start Effect
The combination meter controls the following items during the engine-start effect.
| Control item | Operation | |

Engine Start Judgement
The combination meter judges "engine-start" and activates the engine-start effect only once when the following operational conditions are all satisfied.
| Condition | |
|---|---|
| Ignition switch | ON position |
| Vehicle speed | Less than 0.6 MPH (1 km/h) |
| Engine state | Other than the time of cranking the engine |
| 500 rpm or more | |
| Information display (SETTING) | The setting of "EFFECT" is "ON." |
NOTE:
Engine-start effect exits when any of the above operational conditions is cancelled during the engine-start effect.
