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.

TIP

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

Grip/thumb warmer level indicator

When the grip warmer side of the grip/thumb
warmer adjusting switch is pressed, the grip
warmer indicator comes on and the display
switches to the grip warmer level.
When the thumb warmer side of the
grip/thumb warmer adjusting switch is
pressed, the thumb warmer indicator comes
on and the display switches to the thumb
warmer level.
See “Grip/thumb warmer adjusting switch”
on page 19 for detailed information.
