EBU31400On-Command drive knob
“2WD/4WD/DIFF LOCK”This vehicle is equipped with an On-Com-
mand drive knob to select the drive mode.
The knob has three positions: “2WD”, “4WD”,
and “DIFF LOCK”. Select the appropriate
drive according to terrain and conditions.
“2WD” (two-wheel drive): Power is supplied
to the rear wheels only.
 “4WD” (four-wheel drive): Power is sup-
plied to the rear and front wheels.1. On-Command drive knob “2WD/4WD/DIFF LOCK”

“DIFF LOCK” (four-wheel drive with the dif-
ferential gear locked): Power is supplied to
the rear and front wheels with the differen-
tial gear locked. Unlike the “4WD” mode, all
wheels turn at the same speed regardless
of traction.EBU33191Horn switch“ ”Press the switch to sound the horn.
EBU31410Accelerator pedalPress the accelerator pedal down to increase
engine speed. Spring tension returns the ped-
al to the rest position when released. Always
check that the accelerator pedal returns nor-
mally before starting the engine.EBU31420Brake pedalPress the brake pedal to slow or stop the ve-
hicle.

NOTICEECB02071To protect from damage, do not put metal
items, like tools, or sharply edged items di-
rectly in the glove compartment. If they
must be stored, wrap them in appropriate
cushioning material.
EBU33521Storage compartmentsThe storage compartments are located under
the multi-function meter, between the driver
seat and the passenger seat, and under the
passenger seat. To access the under-pas-
senger seat storage compartment, remove
the passenger seat cushion (see page 4-15
for more information).
When storing any documents in the storage
compartments, be sure to wrap them in a
plastic bag so that they will not get wet. When
washing the vehicle, be careful not to let any
water enter the storage compartments.NOTICEECB02241To protect from dama ge, do not put metal
items, like tools, or sharply edged items di-
rectly in the storage compartment. If these
items must be stored, wrap them in appro-
priate cushioning material.

TIPAlthough the total number of clicks or turns of
a damping force adjusting mechanism may
not exactly match the following specifications
due to small differences in production, the ac-
tual number of clicks or turns always repre-
sents the entire adjusting range. To obtain a
precise adjustment, it would be advisable to
check the number of clicks or turns of each
damping force adjusting mechanism and to
modify the specifications as necessary. Spring preload1. Loosen the locknut.
2. Turn the spring preload adjusting nut in direction (a) to increase the spring pre-
load and thereby harden the suspension,
and in direction (b) to decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the suspen-
sion.
TIPA special wrench can be obtained at a
Yamaha dealer to make this adjustment.
 The spring preload setting is determined by
measuring distance A, shown in the illustra-
tion. The shorter distance A is, the higher
the spring preload; the longer distance A is,
the lower the spring preload. With each
complete turn of the adjusting nut, distance
A is changed by 1.5 mm (0.06 in). 1. Special wrench

3. Tighten the locknut to the specifiedtorque. NOTICE: Always tighten the
locknut against the adjusting nut, and
then tighten it to the specified torque.

Rebound damping force
Turn the rebound damping force adjusting
screw in direction (a) to increase the rebound
damping force and thereby harden the damp-
ing, and in direction (b) to decrease the re-
bound damping force and thereby soften the
damping.
Spring preload setting: Minimum (soft):Distance A = 313.5 mm (12.34 in)
Standard: Distance A = 305.5 mm (12.03 in)
Maximum (hard): Distance A = 298.5 mm (11.75 in)1. Distance A
