On-Command four-wheel-drive indicator “”,
On-Command differential gear lock indicator
“” and indicator light “DIFF. LOCK”
The On-Command four-wheel-drive indicator “”
comes on when the On-Command four-wheel-
drive switch is set to the “4WD” position.
The On-Command differential gear lock indicator
“” and the On-Command differential gear lock
indicator light “DIFF. LOCK” come on when the
On-Command differential gear lock switch is set to
the “LOCK” position.TIP

Due to the synchronizing mechanism in the
differential gear case, the four-wheel-drive in-
dicator may not come on until the Rhino
starts moving.


When the On-Command differential gear lock
switch is set to “LOCK” or “4WD”, the indica-
tor “” and the indicator light “DIFF. LOCK”
will flash until the differential gear is com-
pletely locked or unlocked. If the indicator
and the indicator light continue to flash, the
differential is not completely locked or un-
locked. In this case, start moving to allow
time for the differential to lock or unlock.

Coolant temperature warning light “”
If the coolant temperature reaches a specific level,
this light comes on to warn that the coolant tem-
perature is too hot. If the light comes on during
operation, stop the engine as soon as it is safe to
do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes. (See page 8-158.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warning
light does not come on initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if the warning light remains on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.NOTICE

The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.


After restarting, make sure that the warn-
ing light is out. Continuous use while this
warning light is on may cause damage to
the engine.

Engine trouble warning light “”
This warning light comes on or flashes if a problem
is detected in the electrical circuit monitoring the
engine. When this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the self-diagnosis system. (See page 4-23
for an explanation 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 initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if the warning light remains on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.

Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diagnosis de-
vice for various electrical circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those circuits, the
engine trouble warning light comes on or flashes,
and the multi-function display indicates an error
code.
If the multi-function display indicates an error
code, note the code number, and then have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.NOTICEIf the multi-function display indicates an error
code, the vehicle should be checked as soon
as possible in order to avoid engine damage.

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely
flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and
to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, fol-
low these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be
sure that no one is sitting in the vehicle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or other sourc-
es of ignition such as the pilot lights of water
heaters and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel ex-
pands when it heats up, heat from the engine
or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely.
