display switches to the hour meter from the
voltmeter.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter shows the battery voltage.
When the battery voltage is normal, the volt-
meter displays approximately 12 volts.
If the battery voltage has dropped significant-
ly, “LO” is displayed on the voltmeter. If the
battery voltage has risen significantly, “HI” is
displayed. If “LO” or “HI” is displayed, immedi-
ately return to shore and have a Yamaha
dealer service the watercraft.
To switch to the voltmeter from the hour
meter:
Push the “Volt/Hour” button for at least 1 sec-
ond after the multifunction information center
is activated for more than 10 seconds. The
display switches to the voltmeter from the
hour meter.
EJU31514Fuel level meter
The fuel level meter shows the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank. The amount of re-
maining fuel is shown using eight display seg-
ments, which disappear two at a time as the
fuel level decreases.
TIP:
The accuracy of the fuel level meter varies de-
pending on the operating conditions. Use this
function as a reference only.
EJU36815Fuel level warning
If the fuel remaining in the fuel tank drops to
about 18 L (4.8 US gal, 4.0 Imp. gal), the
“WARNING” indicator light, the fuel indicator,
and the lowest two fuel level segments blink,
and the buzzer sounds intermittently.
If the fuel level warning is activated, refill the
fuel tank as soon as possible. (See page 54
for information on filling the fuel tank.)

EJU35126Oil pressure warning
If the oil pressure drops significantly, the
“WARNING” indicator light and the oil pres-
sure warning indicator blink, and the buzzer
sounds intermittently. At the same time, the
engine speed is limited.
If the oil pressure warning is activated, imme-
diately reduce the engine speed, return to
shore, and then check the engine oil level.
(See page 56 for information on checking the
engine oil level.) If the oil level is sufficient,
have a Yamaha dealer check the watercraft.
TIP:
Push any button on the multifunction informa-
tion center to stop the buzzer.
EJU36826Engine overheat warning
If the engine temperature rises significantly,
the “WARNING” indicator light and the engine
overheat warning indicator blink, and the
buzzer sounds intermittently. Then, the
“WARNING” indicator light and the engine
overheat warning indicator stop blinking and
remain on, and the buzzer sounds continu-
ously. After the light and indicator start to blinkand the buzzer sounds, the engine speed is
limited.
If the engine overheat warning is activated,
immediately reduce the engine speed, return
to shore, and then make sure that water is be-
ing discharged from the port (left) cooling wa-
ter pilot outlets while the engine is running. If
there is no discharge of water, stop the en-
gine, and then check the jet intake for clog-
ging. (See page 97 for information on the jet
intake.) NOTICE: If you cannot locate and
correct the cause of the overheating, con-
sult a Yamaha dealer. Continuing to oper-
ate at higher speeds could result in severe
engine damage.
