Claims20
A vehicle, comprising:
- a frame and a plurality of ground engaging members coupled to the frame;
- a steering assembly coupled to at least one of the ground engaging members, the steering assembly comprising a handlebar movable to steer at least one ground engaging member of the plurality of ground engaging members;
- a straddle seat positioned rearward of the steering assembly;
- a plurality of sensors supported by the frame;
- at least one accessory supported by the frame;
- a display supported by the frame;
- and
- a controller operably coupled to the display and the plurality of sensors, wherein the display is configured to present a first screen layout comprising a first indicator representative of a power characteristic of a first accessory of the at least one accessory, wherein the first accessory is a heating accessory,
- wherein the power characteristic of the first accessory is determined based on a first sensor of the plurality of sensors,
- wherein the first sensor is configured to detect a power level of the first accessory and
- generate one or more sensor values,
- wherein the power characteristic is computed by the controller in a closed loop manner based on the one or more sensor values from the first sensor, and
- wherein the display is configured to present a control to modify a power setting of the first accessory.

A vehicle, comprising:
- a frame and a plurality of ground engaging members coupled to the frame;
- a steering assembly coupled to at least one of the ground engaging members, the steering assembly comprising a handlebar movable to steer at least one ground engaging member of the plurality of ground engaging members and a first heated handgrip coupled to the handlebar;
- a plurality of sensors supported by the frame;
- and
- a display supported by the frame;
- a controller operably coupled to the display, wherein the controller is operably coupled to the plurality of sensors and a plurality of user inputs;
- and
- wherein the display is adaptively configured to display a first screen layout comprising an indicator representative of a power characteristic of the first handgrip based on a first sensor of the plurality of sensors,
- wherein the first sensor is configured to detect a power level of the first handgrip and generate one or more sensor values,
- wherein the power characteristic is computed by the controller in a closed loop manner based on the one or more sensor values from the first sensor, and
- wherein a first input of the plurality of user inputs is configured to control a power level of the first heated handgrip.
