  2. MAIN FEATURES


    1. Combination Meter Assembly (Models with Optitron Meter)


      1. Opening/Ending Ceremony


        • An opening/ending ceremony which allows for anticipation of a pleasant drive is used. The ceremony operates as follows:


          1. When the engine switch is turned on (IG), the needles of the speedometer, tachometer, engine coolant temperature gauge and fuel gauge illuminate.

          2. Then, the gauges and panels of the speedometer, tachometer, engine coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge and the multi-information display illuminate.

          3. When the engine switch is turned off, the panels of the speedometer, tachometer, engine coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge and the multi-information display fade out.

          4. Then, the needles of the speedometer, tachometer, engine coolant temperature gauge and fuel gauge fade out.

    2. Combination Meter Assembly (Models with TFT LCD Meter)


      1. Opening/Ending Ceremony


        • When the engine switch is turned on (ACC), engine speed marks of the tachometer light up in an animated sequence and in coordination with this animated display the needles of the speedometer, shift position indicator and tachometer are illuminated.

        • After the engine switch is turned on (IG), the gauges, outside temperature gauge, odo/trip meter around the movable meter ring appear to emerge from the ring in an animated display.

        • As the engine starts up, all the gauges are once again turned off then the tachometer and its needle, speedometer and shift position indicator are illuminated. Next, the gauges, outside temperature gauge, odo/trip meter around the movable meter ring appear in an animated display.

        • When the engine switch is turned off, the speedometer and shift position indicator turn off. If the menu screen mode is selected, the movable meter ring returns to the center position then the speedometer and shift position indicator are turned off.

        • At the same time as the speedometer and shift position indicator turn off, the gauges, outside temperature gauge, odo/trip meter around the movable meter ring appear to hide themselves behind the ring in an animated display.

        • Next, the tachometer needle and tachometer are turned off in sequence.
