Multi-Function Display Instrument and Controls

Understand and adjust the meters on your MT-03 multi-function display.

Use at your own risk! These resources are for personal references first, and I claim no expertise, know-how, accuracy, intelligence, or anything else of the kind.

    Features

    The multi-function display is equiped with the following:

  • an odometer (ODO)
  • two tripmeters (TRIP 1 and TRIP 2)
  • a fuel reserve tripmeter (TRIP F)
  • an oil change tripmeter (OIL TRIP)
  • an oil change indicator
  • an instantaneous fuel consumption display (km/L, L/100 km, or MPG)
  • an average fuel consumption display (AVE_ _._ km/L, AVE_ _._ L/100 km, AVE_ _._ MPG)

    • Displays

  • Push the "SELECT" button to change the display in the following order: ODO -> TRIP 1 -> TRIP 2 -> TRIP F -> km/L, L/100 km or MPG -> AVE_ _._ km, AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ km MPG -> OIL TRIP -> ODO

    • Switching display units

    The display units can be switched between kilometers and miles by pushing the "SELECT" button until the display units change.

    Fuel Meter

  • When approximately 0.79 US gal (3.0 L) of fuel remains, the last segment of your fuel meter starts flashing.
  • If a problem is detected in the electrical circuit, the fuel level segments will flash repeatedly.

    • Tank capacity:

  • Fuel tank capacity: 3.7 gallons
  • Fuel reserve amount: 0.79 gallons

Tripmeters

  • The tripmeters show the distance traveled since they were last reset.
    1. To reset a tripmeter, change the display to the tripmeter you want to reset, and then push the "RESET" button until it is reset.
    2. The tripmeters will reset and continue counting after 9999.9 is reached.
    3. Fuel Reserve Tripmeter : If the last segment of the fuel meter starts flashing, the display automatically changes to the fuel reserve tripmeter "TRIP F" and starts counting the distance traveled from that point. To reset the fuel reserve tripmeter, push the "RESET" button until it is reset. If you do not reset it manually, it will reset automatically and disappear from the display after refueling and traveling 3 miles.

      Shift Indicator Light

      This indicator light comes on when it is time to shift to the next higher gear. The engine speeds at which it comes on or goes off can be adjusted. When the vehicle is turned on, this light should come on for a few seconds and then go off.

    • Shift indicator light on / flash / off
    • Shift indicator light on r/min
    • Shift indicator light off r/min
    • Shift indicator light brightness

    • To set the shift indicator light on / flash / off

      1. Turn the vehicle off.
      2. Push and hold the "SELECT" button.
      3. Turn the vehicle on, and then release the "SELECT" button after 5 seconds.
      4. Push the "RESET" button to select one of the following flashing pattern settings:
        • On setting: the shift indicator light will come on when the set engine speed is reached. This setting is selected when the shift indicator light stays on.
        • Flash setting: the shift indicator light will flash when the set engine speed is reached. This setting is selected when the shift indicator light flashes 4 times per second.
        • Off setting: the shift indicator light is deactivated. This setting is selected when the shift indicator light flashes once every 2 seconds.
      5. Push the "SELECT" button to confirm the setting. The control mode changes to the shift indicator light on r/min setting function.

    • To set the shift indicator light on r/min

      The shift indicator light can be set between 7000 r/min and 13500 r/min. From 7000 r/min to 12000 r/min, the indicator light can be set in increments of 500 r/min. From 12000 r/min to 13500 r/min, the indicator light can be set in increments of 200 r/min.

      1. Push the "RESET" button to select the desired engine speed for activating the shift indicator light.
      2. Push the "SELECT" button to confirm the selected engine speed. The control mode changes to the shift indicator light off r/min setting function.

    • To set the shift light off r/min

      The shift indicator light can be set between 7000 r/min and 13500 r/min. From 7000 r/min to 12000 r/min, the indicator light can be set in increments of 500 r/min. From 12000 r/min to 13500 r/min, the indicator light can be set in increments of 200 r/min.

      Be sure to set the off r/min to a higher engine speed than the on r/min setting, otherwise the shift indicator light will not come on.

      1. Push the "RESET" button to select the desired engine speed for deactivating the shift indicator light.
      2. Push the "SELECT" button to confirm the selected engine speed. The control mode changes to the shift indicator light brightness setting function.

    • To adjust the shift indicator light brightness

      1. Push the "SELECT" button to confirm the selected brightness level and exit the control mode.
      2. Push the "SELECT" button to confirm the selected brightness level and exit the control mode.

    Clock

    The clock uses a 12-hour time system.

    To set the clock

    1. Push both the "SELECT" button and "RESET" button until the hour digits start flashing.
    2. Use the "RESET" button to set the hours.
    3. Push the "SELECT" button and the minute digits start flashing.
    4. Use the "RESET" button to set the minutes.
    5. Push the "SELECT" button to confirm the settings.

    Coolant Temperature Meter

    This meter shows the temperature of the coolant,and thereby the condition of the engine. The segments come on from"C" (cold) to "H" (hot) as the engine temperature increases. If the hot segment flashes, stop the engine as soon as possible, and let the engine cool. See owner's manual section 7-37.

    Oil Change Tripmeter

    Fuel Consumption

      Instantaneous Display

      This display shows the fuel consumption under the current riding conditions. It can be set to either "km/L" or "L/100 km", or "MPG", when using miles. To switch the fuel consumption measurement units, push the "SELECT" button until the measurement units change.

    • "km/L": the distance that can be traveled on 1.0L of fuel.
    • "L/100 km": the amount of fuel necessary to travel 100 km.
    • "MPG": the distance that can be traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel
    • When traveling under 10 km/h (6mi/h), "_ _._" is displayed.

      Average Display

      This display shows the average fuel consumption since it was last reset. The average fuel consumption display can be set to either "AVE_ _._ km/L" or "AVE_ _._ L/100 km", or "AVE_ _._ MPG" when using miles. To switch the fuel consumption measurement units, push the "SELECT" button until the measurement units change.

    • "AVE_ _._ km/L": the average distance that can be traveled on 1.0 L of fuel.
    • "AVE_ _._ L/100 km": the amount of fuel necessary to travel 100 km.
    • "AVE_ _._ MPG": the distance that can be traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.

      • Also

    • To reset the display, push the "RESET" button until it resets.
    • After resetting, "_ _._" is shown until the vehicle has traveled some distance.
