ter makes one sweep, all of the display seg-
ments and indicator lights come on. After 2
seconds, the “WARNING” indicator light and
the warning indicators in the information dis-
play go off, and then the center starts to oper-
ate normally.

If the multifunction information center does
not receive any operation input within 25 sec-
onds after the engine stops, the center will
turn off and enter a standby state. When the
engine is started again, the displays return to
their state before the center turned off, and
then the center starts to operate normally.
EJU36794Analog speedometer/tachometer
The analog speedometer/tachometer has
both a speedometer function and a tachome-
ter function. By switching the meter, it can be
used as either a speedometer or a tachome-
ter.
TIP:
The analog speedometer is selected at the
Yamaha factory.
Analog speedometer
The analog speedometer shows the water-
craft speed against water.
The small outer numbers on the meter show
the watercraft speed in kilometers per hour
“km/h” and the large inner numbers show the
speed in miles per hour “mph”.
The “SPEED” indicator light comes on when
the analog speedometer is selected.
To switch to the speedometer from the ta-
chometer:
Push the “Speed/RPM” button for at least 1
second after the multifunction information
center is activated. When the meter switches
to the analog speedometer function, the
“SPEED” indicator light comes on if “km/h” are
selected as the display units. The “SPEED”
indicator light blinks three times, then comes
on, if “mph” are selected as the display units.

(5) Loosen the fuel filler cap and remove it.
(6) Slowly add fuel to the fuel tank.
(7) Stop filling when the fuel level reaches
approximately 50 mm (2 in) from the top
of the fuel tank. Do not overfill the fuel
tank. Because fuel expands when it heats
up, heat from the engine or the sun can
cause fuel to spill out of the fuel tank. Donot leave the watercraft with a full tank in
direct sunlight.
(8) Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately with
a dry cloth.
(9) Securely install the fuel filler cap by tight-
ening it until it clicks.
