Gauge Abbreviations
The following table shows what the gauge names. In some cases, the unit selections made in the
Basic
Setup Parameters
(see page 12) will determine the gauge abbreviations.
The information available will vary from vehicle to vehicle. If the information is not available for a certain
gauge, no data will be shown for it. If the same gauge is selected for more than one position, only one of
them will show data (if it is available). The other positions will show the abbreviation, but no data.
