2015 YAMAHA YZF-R3 fuel reserve

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
3-7
3The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
 an odometer
 two tripmeters
 a fuel reserve tripmeter
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display
 an average fuel consumption dis-
play
 an oil change tripmeter
 an oil change indicator
Except for the UK:
Push the “SEL” button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “L/100 km” or “km/L”, aver-
age fuel consumption mode “AVE_ _._
L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ km/L” and oil
change tripmeter mode “OIL TRIP” in
the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → L/100 km
or km/L → AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_
_._ km/L → OIL TRIP → ODO If the left segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing, the display automati-
cally changes to the fuel reserve trip-
meter mode “TRIP F” and starts
counting the distance traveled from
that point. In that case, push the “SEL”
button to switch the display between
the various tripmeter, odometer, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption and av-
erage fuel consumption modes in the
following order:
TRIP F
→ L/100 km or km/L → AVE_
_._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ km/L → OIL
TRIP → ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 →
TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SEL” button, and then push
the “RES” button for at least one sec-
ond.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it resets itself auto-
matically and the display returns to the
prior mode after refueling and traveling
5 km (3 mi). For the UK only:
Push the “SEL” button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “MPG”, “L/100 km” or
“km/L”, average fuel consumption
mode “AVE_ _._ MPG”, “AVE_ _._
L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ km/L” and oil
change tripmeter mode “OIL TRIP” in
the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → MPG,
L/100 km or km/L → AVE_ _._ MPG,
AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ km/L →
OIL TRIP → ODO

Instantaneous fuel consumption
d isplay The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “L/100 km”,
“km/L” or “MPG” (for the UK only).
 “L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
the current riding conditions is
shown.
 “km/L”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel under the
current riding conditions is shown.
 “MPG” (for the UK only): The dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0
Imp. gal of fuel under the current
riding conditions is shown.
To switch between the instantaneous
fuel consumption displays, push the
“SEL” button for one second.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
(12 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
Avera ge fuel consumption display
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ L/100
km”, “AVE_ _._ km/L” or “AVE_ _._
MPG” (for the UK only).
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.  “AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.
 “AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel is shown.
 “AVE_ _._ MPG” (for the UK only):
The average distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp. gal of fuel is
shown.

WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can
cause injury or d eath. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
b y mouth. If you shoul d swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some g asoline in
your eyes, see your doctor imme di- ately. If g
asoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap an d water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothin g, chan ge
your clothes.
EAU49743
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lead ed g asoline will cause severe
d amag e to internal en gine parts,
such as the valves an d piston rin gs,
as well as to the exhaust system.Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
