EBU34560Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the engine
overheats. 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.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). The
warning light should come on for a few seconds,
and then go off.
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.NOTICEECB02400The engine may overheat if the ATV is over-
loaded. In this case, reduce the load to spec-
ification.
 The engine may also overheat if mud or dirt
has accumulated on the radiator (i.e., after
riding in wet terrain). In this case, have a
Yamaha dealer clean the radiator.

Start the engine after making sure that the
warning light is out. Continuous use while
the warning light is on may cause damage to
the engine.
EBU29933Fuel level warning light “ ” (YFM70KDXG /
YFM70KDHG)
This warning light comes on when the fuel level
drops below approximately 4.0 L (1.06 US gal,
0.88 Imp.gal). When this occurs, refuel as soon as
possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by setting the engine stop switch to “ ”
and turning the key to “ ” (on). The warning light
should come on for a few seconds, and then go
off.
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.EBU30482Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on or flashes when an
electrical circuit monitoring the engine is not work-
ing correctly. When this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check the self-diagnosis system.
(YFM70KPXG / YFM70KPHG / YFM70KPSG: See
page 4-8 for an explanation of the self-diagnosis
device.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). The
warning light should come on for a few seconds,
and then go off.
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.
EBU30571Electric Power Steering warning light “EPS”
(for EPS model)
This warning light comes on when the key is
turned to “ ” (on), and then goes off once the
engine is started. If the warning light remains on or
comes on after the engine is started, the EPS sys-
tem may not be working correctly. When this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the EPS
system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If the
warning light does not come on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.

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
functioning.
 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. EBU34250Four-wheel-drive indicator light “ ”
(YFM70KDXG / YFM70KDHG)
This indicator light comes on when the drive lever
is set to the “4WD” position.TIPDue to the synchronizing mechanism in the differ-
ential gear case, the light may not come on until
the ATV starts moving.
Four-wheel-drive indicator “ ” (YFM70KPXG /
YFM70KPHG / YFM70KPSG)
This indicator comes on when the drive lever or
the On-Command four-wheel-drive switch is set
to the “4WD” position.TIPDue to the synchronizing mechanism in the differ-
ential gear case, the indicator may not come on
until the ATV starts moving. On-Command differential gear lock
indicator “ ” and indicator light “DIFF. LOCK”
(YFM70KPSG)
This indicator and indicator light come on when
the On-Command differential gear lock switch is
set to the “LOCK” position.TIPWhen the On-Command differential gear lock
switch is set to “LOCK” or “4WD”, the
indicator “ ” and the indicator light “DIFF. LOCK”
will flash until the differential gear is completely
locked or unlocked. If the indicator and the indica-
tor light continue to flash, the differential is not

moving to allow time for the differential to lock or
unlock.
EBU30495Multi-function display (YFM70KPXG /
YFM70KPHG / YFM70KPSG)
The multi-function display is equipped with the
following:

a speedometer
 an odometer
 two tripmeters (which show the distance trav-
eled since they were last set to zero)
 a clock
 an hour meter (which shows the total time the
engine has been running)
 a fuel meter
 a self-diagnosis device
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches the dis-
play between the odometer mode “ODO” and the
tripmeter modes “TRIP A” and “TRIP B” in the fol-
lowing order:
ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the “SE-
LECT” button, and then push the “RESET” button
for at least three seconds. The tripmeters can be
used to estimate the distance that can be traveled
with a full tank of fuel. This information will enable
you to plan future fuel stops.

between the clock mode “CLOCK” and the hour
meter mode “HOUR” in the following order:
CLOCK → HOUR → CLOCK
To set the clock1. Set the display to the clock mode.
2. Push the “SELECT” button and “RESET” but- ton together for at least three seconds.
3. When the hour digits start flashing, push the “RESET” button to set the hours.
4. Push the “SELECT” button, and the minute digits will start flashing.
5. Push the “RESET” button to set the minutes.
6. Push the “SELECT” button and then release it to start the clock. Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel meter
disappear from “F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as
the fuel level decreases. When the “E” segment
disappears and the fuel level warning indicator
flashes, refuel as soon as possible.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-diagnosis
system. If the electrical circuit is not working cor-
rectly, all the display segments and fuel level
warning indicator will start flashing. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.
