volts.EBU38290Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the engine
overheats.The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). The

This warning light comes on when the fuel level
drops below approximately 4.0 L (1.06 US gal,
0.88 Imp.gal). When this occurs, refuel as soon as
possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by setting the engine stop switch to “ ”
and turning the key to “ ” (on). The warning light
should come on for a few seconds, and then go
off. If the warning light does not come on initially when
the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if the warning
light remains on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.

the EPS warning light comes on to indicate that
the power assistance for the steering is not
functioning.
 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. EBU38280Four-wheel drive indicators

Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s traveling
speed. The speedometer can be set to “MPH” or
“km/h”. This also changes the odometer and trip-
meter units between miles and kilometers. To
change the display between “MPH” and “km/h”,
turn the key to “ ” (off), then while holding the
“SELECT” button pushed, turn the key to “ ”
(on). Odometer and tripmeters
The odometer shows the total distance traveled
by the vehicle.
The tripmeters show the distance traveled since
they were last reset. The tripmeters can be used to
record the distance traveled on a single trip, or to
estimate the distance that can be traveled with a
full tank of gas, etc. The service tripmeter shows
the distance traveled since it was reset at the last
maintenance.

Coolant temperature display
When the coolant is in the normal operating tem-
perature range, the temperature is displayed.
When the coolant temperature rises, the coolant
temperature display will begin to flash. If the cool-
ant temperature continues to rise, the message
“Hi” will flash. TIP
The coolant temperature display can be set to
“°C” or “°F”. To switch the temperature units,
turn the key to “ ” (off), then while holding the
“RESET” button pushed, turn the key to “ ”
(on). 
The radiator fan turns on and off automatically
according to the coolant temperature.
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, approximately 4.0 L (1.06 US gal,
0.88 Imp.gal) of fuel remains. Refuel as soon as
possible.
