Push the “RES+” side of the cruise con-
trol setting switch to reactivate the
cruise control system. The traveling
speed will return to the previously set
cruising speed. The “SET” indicator
light will come on.
WARNING
EWA16351
It is dangerous to use the resume
function when the previously set
cruising speed is too high for cur-
rent conditions.
Turning off the cruise control sys-
tem
Push the cruise control power switch
“ ” to turn off the cruise control sys-
tem. The “ ” indicator light and the
“SET” indicator light will turn off.

viously set cruisi
ng speed is erased.
You will not be able to use the resume
function until a new cruising speed has
been set.
Automatic deactivation of the cruise
control system
The cruise control system is electroni-
cally controlled and linked with other
control systems. The cruise control sys-
tem will automatically deactivate under
the following conditions:
The cruise control system is not
able to maintain the set cruising
speed (such as when going up a
steep hill).
Wheel slip or wheel spin is detect-
ed. (If the traction control system is
on, traction control will engage.)
Engine trouble, etc.
If the cruise control system is automati-
cally deactivated, the “ ” indicator
light will turn off and the “SET” indicator
light will flash for 4 seconds.

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
EWA18440
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).

Sports mode “S”
This mode offers a sportier engine re-

compared to the touring mode.
EAU77281
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.

When the vehicle is turned on, traction
control is automatically turned on.
To turn the traction control system off,
see page 5-11.
TIP
Turn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the vehicle
gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft
surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 8-17.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.
Resetting the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable under certain condi-
tions; such as when a sensor fault is
detected, or when only one wheel is al-
lowed to rotate for more than a few sec-
onds. Should this happen, the “ ”
indicator light will come on, and possi-
bly the “ ” warning light, too.
TIP
When the vehicle is on the centerstand,
do not rev the engine for an extended
period of time. Otherwise, the traction
control system will automatically dis-
able and need to be reset.
If the traction control system automati-
cally disables, try resetting it as follows.
1. Stop the vehicle and turn it off completely.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn the vehicle power on.
3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be enabled.
TIP
If the “ ” indicator light remains on af-
ter resetting, the vehicle may still be rid-
den; however, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle as soon as possible.
4. Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle and turn off the “ ” warn-
ing light.
