sion is in the park position.EBU17920Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the engine over-
heats. When this occurs during operation, stop the
engine as soon as it is safe to do so and allow it to
cool down for about 10 minutes.
NOTICEECB00010●The engine may overheat if the ATV is over-

TIP●If the engine is stopped using the engine stop
switch and the key is in the “ON” position, the
EPS warning light comes on to indicate that the
power assistance for the steering is not function-
ing.●If the steering load is too heavy (i.e., excessive
steering use when the ATV is traveling at a slow
speed), the power assist is reduced to protect
the EPS motor from overheating.EBU29621On-Command four-wheel-drive indicator “ ”,
On-Command differential gear lock
indicator “ ” and indicator light “DIFF.
LOCK”
The On-Command four-wheel-drive indicator “ ”

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 dif-
ferential gear case, the four-wheel-drive indica-
tor may not come on until the ATV starts moving.●When the On-Command differential gear lock
switch is set to “LOCK”, the indicator “ ” and
the indicator light “DIFF. LOCK” will flash until
the differential gear is locked. If the indicator and
the indicator light continue to flash, the differen-
tial is not locked. In this case, start moving to al-
low time for the differential to lock.
