TIP:
If the remote control transmitter is operated
while the multifunction information center is in
the standby state, the center performs the ini-
tial operation, and then the setting is selected.
To activate the Low RPM Mode:
Push the “L-Mode” (unlock) button on the re-
mote control transmitter for more than 4 sec-
onds. Once the beeper sounds three times
and the “UNLOCK” indicator light blinks three
times, then comes on, the “L-MODE” indicator
light comes on and the Low RPM Mode is ac-
tivated.
TIP:
If the Low RPM Mode is activated immediate-
ly after the information display turns off, the
“L-MODE” indicator light will not come on. The
“L-MODE” indicator light will come on when
the engine is started.
To deactivate the Low RPM Mode:
Push the “L-Mode” (unlock) button on the re-
mote control transmitter for more than 4 sec-onds. Once the beeper sounds two times and
the “UNLOCK” indicator light blinks two times,
then comes on, the “L-MODE” indicator light
goes off and the Low RPM Mode is deactivat-
ed. When the Low RPM Mode is deactivated,
the watercraft returns to the normal operation
mode.
EJU37015No-wake mode
The no-wake mode is a function that main-
tains the engine speed at a fixed setting for
operating the watercraft at low speeds. This
function can be used only for forward opera-
tion of the watercraft.
TIP:
The no-wake mode can only be activated af-
ter 5 seconds have elapsed since starting the
engine.
Activating and deactivating the no-wake
mode
Activation of the no-wake mode will be con-
firmed by the number of beeps when the “NO-
WAKE MODE” switch is pushed, and by the
digital speedometer display of the multifunc-
tion information center. (See page 39 for infor-
mation on the multifunction information
center.)
TIP:
The beeps and the blinking digital speedome-
ter display also indicate the activation of the
cruise assist. (See page 36 for information on
the cruise assist.)

To activate the no-wake mode:
(1) Release the throttle lever and let the en-
gine speed return to idle.
(2) Make sure that the shift lever is in the for-
ward position. The no-wake mode cannot
be activated when the shift lever is in the
reverse position.
(3) Push and hold the “NO-WAKE MODE”
switch. Once the beeper sounds three
times quickly and “8” (when kilometers
are selected) or “5” (when miles are se-
lected) starts blinking in the digital speed-
ometer display, the no-wake mode is
activated. Keep the throttle lever in the
fully closed (idle) position when the no-
wake mode is activated.TIP:
The digital speedometer display blinks contin-
ually while the no-wake mode is activated.
To deactivate the no-wake mode:
Perform one of the following operations. The
beeper sounds two times quickly and the dig-
ital speedometer display stops blinking when
the no-wake mode is deactivated.

Push the “NO-WAKE MODE” switch.

Squeeze the throttle lever.
TIP:

TIP:

The cruise assist can only be set between
engine speeds of approximately 3000 r/min
and approximately 7000 r/min.

The cruise assist cannot be activated in the
Low RPM Mode. (See page 34 for Low
RPM Mode activation procedures.)
Activating and deactivating the cruise as-
sist
Activation of the cruise assist will be con-
firmed by the number of beeps when the
“SET” switch, up switch, or down switch is
pushed, and by the digital speedometer dis-
play of the multifunction information center.
(See page 39 for information on the multifunc-
tion information center.)
TIP:
The beeps and the blinking digital speedome-
ter display also indicate the activation of the
no-wake mode. (See page 35 for information
on the no-wake mode.)
To activate the cruise assist:
(1) Operate the throttle lever until the desired
engine speed is reached.
(2) When the engine speed reaches the de-
sired cruise assist setting, push the “SET”
switch. Once the beeper sounds three
times quickly and the digital speedometer
display starts blinking, the cruise assist is
activated. When the cruise assist is acti-
vated, slowly squeeze the throttle lever to
keep it squeezed further than the positionat which the cruise assist was set; releas-
ing the throttle lever will deactivate the
cruise assist.
TIP:
The digital speedometer display blinks contin-
ually while the cruise assist is activated. Make
sure that the beeper has sounded and the dig-
ital speedometer display is blinking before
squeezing the throttle lever to the full throttle
position. If the speedometer display is not
blinking, the cruise assist is not activated and
