Default Trigger Switch Functions

I have a 2014 Electra-Glide Police FLHTP which has the Project Rushmore improvements. Separately, I bought a touring model owner's manual but it doesn't include any information about the police model. The touring model owner's manual instructions are incomplete for operating the "trigger switch" on the left handlebar perch. My Police bike's trigger switch has a function indicated by "SP" on the display.

What does"SP" denote and how is this function utilized?

PS There are probably some more police-only features provided on a 2014 FLHTP but my owner's manual is silent on these features.

Maybe this,

Trigger switch activation also allows 15 minutes of power to police emergency equipment with ignition switch off.

Default Speed Capture - Digital Speed Display

Thanks. It states "Includes trigger switch for odometer, trip A, trip B, clock, range to empty, and gear indicator; speed capture and digital speed display."My touring bike owners manual provides no instruction on how to use this feature.

Try entering your VIN here. You should be able to view the owner's manual for your police bike.

Thanks very much. I was able to locate all the police model information which is missing from the touring model owner's manual

Did you find out what the "SP" is for?

I found this at H-D Service Information Portal:

See Figure 1. The speed capture display allows for the recording vehicle speed when pacing another vehicle. The speed capture display is only updated when the vehicle is moving.
Activation: With the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY or IGNITION position, press the trigger switch until speed capture is displayed. This feature is indicated by the letters "SP" in the left side of the display. Press and hold the trigger switch to activate the speed capture The speed is displayed, based on motorcycle speed.
Capture: While traveling at speed, press and hold the trigger switch to save the current speed. This is indicated by the letter "C" on the right side of the display.
Press and hold the trigger switch to erase the current saved speed or to reactivate the speed capture function.

You can order the correct police model owners manual from any dealer. They are usually around $30.
