Fuel meter and grip/thumb

warmer level indicator

The fuel meter and grip/thumb warmer level
indicator have eight segments which show
the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank,
the grip warmer level, or the thumb warmer
level.

Fuel meter

The display segments of the fuel meter disap-
pear towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level de-
creases. When only one segment is left near
“E”, the fuel level warning indicator and the
warning light come on.

If the fuel level warning indicator and the
warning light come on, refuel as soon as pos-
sible.

NOTE:

The snowmobile must be stopped on a level
surface to obtain an accurate fuel meter read-
ing, since the reading changes according to
the movement and inclination of the snowmo-
bile.

Grip/thumb warmer level indicator

When the grip warmer adjustment switch is
pressed, the grip warmer indicator comes on
and the display switches to the grip warmer
level.
When the thumb warmer adjustment switch is
pressed, the thumb warmer indicator comes
on and the display switches to the thumb
warmer level.
