The Low RPM Mode can only be activated
and deactivated by operating the remote con-
trol transmitter that is included with this water-
craft. (See page 26 for information on the
remote control transmitter.)
TIP:
The Low RPM Mode can only be activated
when the engine is stopped in the unlock
mode of the Yamaha Security System.
Activating and deactivating the Low RPM
Mode
Activation of the Low RPM Mode will be con-
firmed by the number of beeps when the re-
mote control transmitter is operated, and by
the “L-MODE” indicator light of the multifunc-
tion information center. (See page 40 for infor-
mation on the multifunction information

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.

“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.
EJU42480No-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 40 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 37 for information on
the cruise assist.)

activated, the analog speedometer/tachome-
ter makes one sweep, and all of the display

play go off, and then the center starts to oper-
ate normally.

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.
EJU42330Analog 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.

The analog tachometer is selected at the
Yamaha factory.
Analog tachometer
