The engine may also overheat if mud or dirt
has accumulated on the radiator (i.e., after
riding in wet terrain). In this case, see page
8-19 for an explanation on how to access the
radiator.
Start the engine after making sure that the
warning light is out. Continuous use while
the warning light is on may cause damage tothe engine.EBU27280Engine trouble warning light “”
This warning light comes on or flashes when an
electrical circuit monitoring the engine is defective.
When this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the self-diagnosis system. (See page 4-5 for an ex-
planation of the self-diagnosis device.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warning
light does not come on, then go off, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.EBU27542Electric Power Steering warning light “EPS”
This warning light comes on when the key is turned
to “ON”, and then goes off once the engine is start-
ed. If the warning light remains on or comes on af-ter the engine is started, the EPS system may be
defective. When this occurs, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the EPS system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warning
light does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
NOTE:
If the engine is stopped using the engine stop
switch and the key is in the “ON” position, the
EPS warning light comes on to indicate that the
power assistance for the steering is not function-
ing.
If the steering load is too heavy (i.e., excessive
steering use when the ATV is traveling at a slow
speed), the power assist is reduced to protectthe EPS motor from overheating.EBU17961On-Command four-wheel-drive/differential
gear lock indicator “”/“”
The On-Command four-wheel-drive indicator “”
comes on when the On-Command four-wheel-
drive switch is set to the “4WD” position.

tor also comes on when the On-Command differ-
ential gear lock switch is set to the “LOCK”
position.
NOTE:
Due to the synchronizing mechanism in the dif-
ferential gear case, the four-wheel-drive indica-
tor may not come on until the ATV starts moving.
When the On-Command differential gear lock
switch is set to “LOCK”, the indicator “” willflash until the differential gear is locked.EBU17970Park indicator light “”

EBU27291Multifunction display The multifunction display is equipped with the fol-
lowing:
a speedometer (which shows the riding speed)
an odometer (which shows the total distance
traveled)
two tripmeters (which show the distance trav-
eled since they were last set to zero)

a clock
an hour meter (which shows the total time the
key has been turned to “ON”)
a fuel meter
a self-diagnosis device
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches the display
between the odometer mode “ODO” and the trip-
meter modes “A” and “B” in the following order:
ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the “SE-
LECT” button, and then push the “RESET” button
for at least three seconds. The tripmeters can be
used to estimate the distance that can be traveled
with a full tank of fuel. This information will enable
you to plan future fuel stops.
NOTE:Holding in the “SELECT” button and then turning
the key to “ON” switches the display between“mph” and “km/h”.
Clock mode
Pushing the “CLOCK” button switches the display
between the clock mode “CLOCK” and the hour
meter mode “HOUR” in the following order:
1.“CLOCK” button
2.“RESET” button
3.“SELECT” button

Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel meter
disappear from “F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the
fuel level decreases. When the “E” segment disap-
pears and the fuel level warning indicator flashes,
refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE:This fuel meter is equipped with a self-diagnosis
system. If the electrical circuit is defective, all the
display segments and fuel level warning indicator
will start flashing. If this occurs, have a Yamahadealer check the electrical circuit.1. Fuel level warning indicator

4Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diagnosis de-
vice for various electrical circuits.
If any of those circuits are defective, the multifunc-
tion display will indicate a two-digit error code.
If the multifunction display indicates such an error
code, note the code number, and then have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
CAUTION:ECB00810If the multifunction display indicates an error
code, the vehicle should be checked as soonas possible in order to avoid engine damage.

NOTE:If the digits of the speedometer appear as shown
when the switch is NOT being pushed, this could
indicate a malfunction in the electrical system. In
this case, take the ATV to a Yamaha dealer at thefirst opportunity.
WARNING
EWB00150Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
four-wheel-drive differential gear lock, and al-
low extra time and distance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential is locked, so it takes more effort to
turn the ATV. The effort needed to turn increas-es with the riding speed. You may lose control
and have an accident if you cannot make a
sharp enough turn for the speed you are trav-
eling.EBU26603On-Command four-wheel-drive switch
“2WD”/“4WD”
This ATV is equipped with a switch to change from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and vice-versa.
Select the appropriate drive according to the ter-
rain and the conditions.
“2WD” (two-wheel drive): Power is supplied to
the rear wheels.
“4WD” (four-wheel drive): Power is supplied to
the rear and front wheels.
To change from two-wheel drive to four-wheel
drive, stop the ATV and push the switch in to the
“4WD” position. Then, the four-wheel-drive indica-
tor “” comes on in the multifunction display.
To change from four-wheel drive to two-wheel
drive, stop the ATV and push the switch in to the
“2WD” position.
