ment starts flashing, approximately 4.0
L (1.06 US gal, 0.88 Imp.gal) of fuel re-
mains. Refuel as soon as possible.
TIPIf a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit, the fuel level segments will flash
repeatedly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.Eco in dicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle

acceleration. 
Travel at a constant speed.
 Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.

pushing “ ”, the display will change
in the following order.
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L,
L/100 km, or MPG → AVE – –.– km/L,
AVE – –.– L/100 km, or AVE – –.– MPG
→ °C (coolant) → °C Air → ODO
When the last segment of the fuel me-
ter starts flashing, the display changes
to the fuel reserve tripmeter “TRIP F”
and starts counting the distance trav-
eled from that point. In this case,
push “ ” to change the display in the
following order.
TRIP F → km/L, L/100 km, or MPG →
AVE – –.– km/L, AVE – –.– L/100 km, or
AVE – –.– MPG → °C (coolant) → °C Air
→ ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F
TIP Push “ ” to change the display
in the opposite order.
 To reset a tripmeter, push the
“RESET” button for one second. 
The fuel reserve tripmeter can be
reset manually, or you can allow it
to reset automatically after refuel-
ing and traveling about 5 km (3
mi).
Instantaneous fuel consumption
Instantaneous fuel consumption can
be set to “km/L”, “L/100 km”, or
“MPG”.
 “km/L”: the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel
 “L/100 km”: the amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km
 “MPG”: the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel
TIPTo switch between “km/L”, “L/100
km”, and “MPG”, push the “RE-
SET” button for one second.
 When traveling under 10 km/h (6
mi/h), “– –.–” is displayed.Avera ge fuel consumption
Average fuel consumption can be set
to either “AVE – –.– km/L”, “AVE – –.–
L/100 km”, or “AVE – –.– MPG”.  “AVE – –.– km/L”: the average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel
 “AVE – –.– L/100 km”: the average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km

TIPTo reset the average fuel con-
sumption, push the “RESET” but-
ton for one second.
 After resetting, “– –.–” will be
shown until the vehicle has trav-
eled a sufficient distance.
 The display units cannot be
switched between “km/L”, “L/100
km”, and “MPG” in this mode;
change to the instantaneous fuel
consumption mode first.Coolant temperature The temperature of the engine coolant
from 40 °C to 124 °C is shown in 1 °C
increments.
If the message “Hi” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine and let it
cool. (See page 6-36.)
TIP
When the coolant temperature is
below 40 °C, “Lo” will be dis-
played.
 The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather and
engine load.Air temperature The temperature of the air drawn into
the intake system from –9 °C to 50 °C
is shown in 1 °C increments.
TIP
–9 °C will be displayed even if the
air temperature falls below –9 °C.
 The temperature displayed may
vary from the actual ambient tem-
perature.Bri ghtness and shift light control
