Instrument display - when sun is shining directly on display, LCD readout is clear and easily readable.

Readouts - speed, tachometer, gear indicator, and ride mode always on display. Coolant temp, clock, fuel consumption at the top. Odometer, trip meter, and average speed at the bottom. They are toggled with SEL/ADJ buttons on instrument panel. Only two can be displayed at a time, one at top and one at bottom.

Fuel gauge starts flashing at 100 miles from a full tank. Filled the 3.4 gallon tank with 2.0 gallons, and 1.4 gallons remaining... 70 miles to empty?

A decent showing of 48-50 MPG for a new engine, while not being easy on throttle and RPM levels. Estimated range is 150 miles with a 20-mile fuel reserve.

Self-cancelling turn signals - If you haven’t turned within about 50 yards, the signal is cancelled. It’s annoying having to re-activate. Should have been set to about 75 yards or so. Maybe it calculates based on time. Either way, IMO it cancels too early. It works just fine when at a stop waiting to turn, and always cancels when turn is completed.

Cruise control works well (the one time I used it). Consistent up hills and down hills. Functions only in gears 4, 5 and 6. When braking, shifting, or throttle applied… cruise is deactivated.
