• The Tiger Explorer tells you everything you need to know on a journey.

Also visible on the LCD screen is the odometer readout, tire pressure monitoring system readout (if fitted), heated seat power indicator, cruise control operation information and service interval. There is also an on-screen alert for freezing temperatures as well as a numeric readout for ambient temperature.
