If the cruise control system was auto-
matically deactivated, please stop and
confirm that your vehicle is in good op-
erating condition before continuing on.
When traveling on roads with steep
grades, the cruise control system may
not be able to maintain the set cruising
speed.
When going uphill, the actual trav-
eling speed may become lower
than the set cruising speed. If this
occurs, accelerate to the desired
traveling speed using the throttle.
When going downhill, the actual
traveling speed may become high-
er than the set cruising speed. If
this occurs, the setting switch can-
not be used to adjust the set cruis-
ing speed. To reduce the traveling
speed, apply the brakes. When the
brakes are applied, the cruise con-
trol system will deactivate.

D-mode (drive mode)
(XP530-A, XP530D-A)
D-mode is an electronically controlled
engine performance system with two
mode selections (touring mode “T” and
sports mode “S”).
WARNING

Do not change the drive mode while
the vehicle is moving.
With the throttle grip closed, push the
drive mode switch “MODE” to switch
between modes “S” (sports) and “T”
(touring).
TIP
The current drive mode is shown in
the drive mode display (page 5-6).
The current drive mode is saved
when the vehicle is turned off.

Traction control system
The traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when accelerat-
ing on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip (un-
controlled spinning), the traction control
system assists by
regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored.
When traction control has engaged, the
“ ” indicator light will flash. You may
notice changes in engine response or
exhaust sounds.
WARNING
EWA18860
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution and avoid especially slip-
pery surfaces.
