NOTICE
ECA21573
The smart key has precision elec-
tronic components. Observe the fol-
lowing precautions to prevent
possible malfunction or damage.
Do not place or store the smart
key in a storage compartment.
The smart key may be damaged
from road vibrations or exces-
sive heat.
Do not drop, bend, or subject
the smart key to strong impacts.
Do not submerge the smart key
in water or other liquids.
Do not place heavy items or ex-
cessive stress on the smart key.
Do not leave the smart key in a
place exposed to direct sun-
light, high temperature or high
humidity.
Do not grind or attempt to mod-
ify the smart key.
Keep the smart key away from
strong magnetic fields and mag-
netic objects such as key hold-
ers, TVs, and computers.
Keep the smart key away from
electric medical equipment.
Do not allow oils, polishing
agents, fuel, or any strong chemicals to come in contact
with the smart key. The smart
key body may become discol-
ored or cracked.
TIP
The smart key battery life is ap-
proximately two years, but this
may vary according to operating
conditions.
The smart key battery may be-
come discharged even if it is away
from the vehicle and not being
used.
If the smart key continually re-
ceives radio waves, the smart key
battery will discharge quickly. (For
example, when placed in the vicin-
ity of electrical products such as
televisions, radios, or computers.)
Replace the smart key battery when
the smart key system indicator light
flashes for about 20 seconds when the
vehicle is first power on, or when the
smart key indicator light does not come
on when the “ON/OFF” switch is
pushed. (See page 3-6.) After changing
the smart key battery, if the smart key
system still does not operate, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
TIP
You can register up to six smart
keys for the same vehicle. See a
Yamaha dealer regarding spare
smart keys.
If a smart key is lost, contact a
Yamaha dealer immediately to
prevent the vehicle from being sto-
len.
