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.
EBU17954On-Command four-wheel-drive indicator
light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the On-Com-
mand four-wheel-drive switch is set to the “4WD”

ential gear case, the light may not come on until
the ATV starts moving.

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel gauge
disappear from “F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as
the fuel level decreases. When the last segment
starts flashing, refuel as soon as possible.
TIPThis fuel gauge is equipped with a self-diagnosis
system. If a problem is detected, all the display
segments will flash repeatedly. If this occurs, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
Multi-function display
Push the select button “SEL” to switch the display
between the odometer “ODO”, the tripmeter
“TRIP”, the service tripmeter “SERVICE”, and the
hour meter “HOUR” in the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP → SERVICE → HOUR → ODO
Odometer and tripmeter
The odometer shows the total distance traveled
by the vehicle.
The tripmeter shows the distance traveled since it
was last reset.
To reset the tripmeter, push the select button
“SEL” for one second.
