EJU45930Cruise assist
The cruise assist is a function for maintaining
a desired engine speed within a fixed range
while operating the watercraft. Once the
cruise assist is activated, the set engine
speed can be increased or decreased. How-
ever, the adjustment is limited to a maximum
of five increments above or below the initial
cruise assist setting.
TIP
The cruise assist can only be set between en-
gine speeds of approximately 3000 r/min and
approximately 7000 r/min.
Activating and deactivating the cruise as-
sist
Activation of the cruise assist can be con-
firmed by the cruise assist indicator on the
multifunction information center.
To activate the cruise assist:
(1) Operate the throttle lever until the de-sired engine speed is reached.
(2) When the engine speed reaches the de- sired cruise assist setting, push the
“CRUISE/NO WAKE” switch. Once the
beeper sounds three times and the
cruise assist indicator is displayed, the
cruise assist is activated. (3) When the cruise assist is activated, slow-
ly squeeze the throttle lever to keep it
squeezed further than the position at
which the cruise assist was set.
TIP
Check the multifunction information center to
make sure that the cruise assist is activated
before squeezing the throttle lever to the full
throttle position. If the cruise assist is not ac-
tivated, the engine will respond normally to
the throttle operation.
(4) Once the cruise assist is activated, pushthe upper side of the “SPEED ADJUST”
switch to increase the set engine speed
or the lower side of the “SPEED AD-
JUST” switch to decrease the set engine
speed. The engine speed can be
changed in the range of the cruise assist
levels –5 to +5.
