NOTICEECB02050If the voltage display indicates “LO” or
“HI”, there may be trouble with the battery
charging circuit or the battery may be
faulty. If this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check or repair the vehicle. Coolant temperature displayThis shows the coolant temperature from 0
°C (32 °F) to 128 °C (263 °F) in 1 °C (1 °F) in-
crements. When the coolant temperature isbelow 0 °C (32 °F), “LO” will be displayed.
When the coolant temperature is between
122 °C (252 °F) and 128 °C (263 °F), the cool-
ant temperature display will flash. In this case,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and let it idle
for 10 minutes. If the message “HI” flashes,
stop the engine and let it cool. (See page
8-67.)
TIP
The coolant temperature display can be set

seconds.)
2. Push the “MODE” button to confirm the selected flashing pattern. The control
mode changes to the activation point set-
ting mode. The shift timing indicator light
remains on and the tachometer shows
the current setting r/min for the activation
point.
To set the shift activation point
TIP The shift timing indicator light activation
point can be set between 7000 r/min and
12000 r/min. The activation point can be set
in increments of 500 r/min. 
The tachometer needle will start over at
7000 r/min after 12000 r/min.
1. Push the “RESET” button to select the
desired engine speed for activating the
indicator light.
2. Push the “MODE” button to confirm the selected engine speed. The shift timing
indicator light flashes and the tachometer
shows the current setting r/min for the
deactivation point.
To set the deactivation pointTIP The shift timing indicator light deactivation
point can be set between 7000 r/min and
12000 r/min. The deactivation point can be
set in increments of 500 r/min.
 Be sure to set the deactivation point to a
higher engine speed than for the activation
point, otherwise the shift timing indicator
light will not come on.

that the electric starter will not have
enough power to crank the engine. If this
should happen, remove the battery and re-
charge it. 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.
 “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.
EBU31411Accelerator pedalPress the accelerator pedal to increase en-
gine speed. Spring tension returns the pedal
to the rest position when released. Always
check that the accelerator pedal returns nor-
mally before starting the engine.

TIPSpring tension helps return the lever to the
released position.
 If you drive the vehicle with the parking
brake engaged, a buzzer will sound. EBU36632YCC-S systemThis vehicle is equipped with the Yamaha
Chip Controlled-Shift system (YCC-S) with
AUTO DOWNSHIFT. YCC-S allows the driver to operate the man-
ual transmission without having to operate
the clutch. AUTO DOWNSHIFT automatically
shifts the transmission into first gear when
coming to a stop under normal conditions.
The transmission is operated using the drive
select lever and the shift paddles. The drive
select lever is used to shift the transmission
into forward drive (first gear), neutral, and re-
verse gear. The shift paddles are used to shift
through the forward gears.
When the drive select lever or shift paddles
are moved, a signal is sent to the MCU (motor
control unit) which disengages the clutch, the
ECU (engine control unit) adjusts ignition tim-
ing, the gear shift is made, and then the clutch
is re-engaged once the engine is running at
proper speed. Clutch engagement is con-
trolled by the MCU according to engine
speed and other driving conditions.1. Release button

Do not deform or damage the cylinders
in any way. Cylinder damage will result in
poor damping performance.
 Do not dispose of a damaged or worn
out shock absorber assembly yourself.
Take the shock absorber assembly to a
Yamaha dealer for any service. EBU35052Auxiliary DC jackThe auxiliary DC jack is located at the left side
of the glove compartment. The auxiliary DC
jack can be used for suitable work lights, ra-
dios, etc. The auxiliary DC jack should only be
used when the engine is running and the
lights are turned off.NOTICEECB02250 Do not use accessories requiring more
than the stated maximum capacity. Do-
ing so may overload the circuit and cau-
se the fuse to blow. 
If accessories are used without the en-
gine running, the battery may discharge.
 Do not use an automotive cigarette light-
er or other accessories with a plug that
gets hot, because the jack can be dam-
aged.
1. Set the light switch to “ ” (off).
2. Turn the accessory off.
3. Start the engine. (See page 6-2.)
4. Open the auxiliary DC jack cap, and then
insert the accessory power plug into the
jack.
