Default Toyota Supra Mk3 "TEMS" and "BUTTONS"

Hey guys, on the dashboard there is a word that says TERMS and has like green bars? like i right now i have 1 bar left. Does it mean the battery left or something else? Please respond, im so curious! and the switch that you can press like below the clutch Normal or Sport? Whats the difference? Is there really a significant difference between the two switches?

-Thanks a bunch guys !

i dont know how the TEMS works whith automatics but on my 7mgte 5sped manual i have a sport and normal button in whitch to choose from and the susspension adjusts acordingly, also a 3rd option of high performance which is turned on at WOT and high spped manuvers/ hard braking.

P.S. what ranma is dead on google is a great tool even tho i sometimes forget to use it

My Japanese spec 86.5 Supra with GA70 and automatic had it. No difference, the GA70 was the 2 litter version of the engine.
