plied to the front and rear wheels. 
“DIFF LOCK” (four–wheel drive with the dif-
ferential gear locked): Power is supplied to

If you drive the vehicle with the parking
brake engaged, a buzzer will sound. EBU36633YCC-S systemThis vehicle is equipped with the Yamaha
Chip Controlled-Shift system (YCC-S) with
AUTO DOWNSHIFT.
YCC-S allows the driver to operate the man-
ual transmission without having to operate
the clutch. AUTO DOWNSHIFT automatically
shifts the transmission into first gear when
coming to a stop under normal conditions.
The transmission is operated using the drive
select lever and the shift paddles. The drive
select lever is used to shift the transmission
into forward drive (first gear), neutral, and re-
verse gear. The shift paddles are used to shift
through the forward gears.
When the drive select lever or shift paddles
are moved, a signal is sent to the MCU (motor
control unit) which disengages the clutch, the
gear shift is made, and then the clutch is re- engaged once the engine is running at proper
speed. Clutch engagement is controlled by
the MCU according to engine speed and oth-
er driving conditions.
TIP
This is not an automatic transmission, only
the clutch system is automatic.
 The gears must be shifted by the driver, ex-
cept when AUTO DOWNSHIFT shifts the
transmission into first gear.
 See page 7-3 for more information on shift-
ing.
