accompanied by the battery icon.
The bar graph is updated every second and
controlled in accordance to the following table:
Voltage [Volt]
up to 10.49 Volts
from 10.50V to 10.99V
from 11.00V to 11.49V
from 11.50V to 11.99V
from 12.00V to 12.49V
from 12.50V to 12.89V
from 12.90V to 13.39V

When the voltage level measured is lower than or
equal to 9.0 V, the system activates the alarm
procedure to inform the user that if the vehicle is
restarted, the instrument board is likely to loose
its settings and you may need to enter the model
information. The alarm consists in the display
(irrespective of the current function) of the battery
voltage bar graph. The first bar segment, the
battery icon and the message “MIN” will start
flashing; this alarm does not compromise operation
of the instrument board that can be used as usual.
The above alarm indications will however remain.
As a consequence, if you select a new function
when this alarm is present and you open a submenu
(RPM or radiator fluid temperature functions), the
battery icon and the message “MIN” will keep
flashing on the display. The alarm condition ends
when the voltage level rises above 9.5 V; the entire
sequence will be repeated every time voltage level
is below or equal to 9.0 V; it is interrupted when
voltage rises above or is equal to 9.5V.
When the alarm ends, if the user does not modify
the bar graph setting, the system will automatically
resume the selected bar graph before the battery
alarm is displayed again. If the user presses the
MODE button during alarm display, to modify the
bar graph setting, when the alarm conditions end,
the system will resume the display of the function
selected.
