EBU28664Coolant temperature warning light“”
This warning light comes on when the engine over-
heats. When this occurs during operation, stop the
engine as soon as it is safe to do so and allow it to
cool down for about 10 minutes.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by 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 re-
mains on, have a Yamaha dealer check the electri-
cal circuit.NOTICEECB00891
The engine may overheat if the ATV is over-
loaded. In this case, reduce the load to spec-
ification.
The engine may also overheat if mud or dirt
has accumulated on the radiator (i.e., after
riding in wet terrain). In this case, see page
8-21 for an explanation on how to access the
radiator.

Start the engine after making sure that the
warning light is out. Continuous use while
the warning light is on may cause damage to
the engine.EBU27284Engine trouble warning light“”
This warning light comes on or flashes when an
electrical circuit monitoring the engine is not work-
ing correctly. When this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the self-diagnosis system. (See page
4-7 for an explanation of the self-diagnosis device.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by 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 re-
mains on, have a Yamaha dealer check the electri-
cal circuit.EBU27543Electric Power Steering warning light “EPS”
This warning light comes on when the key is turned
to “ON”, and then goes off once the engine is start-
ed. If the warning light remains on or comes on af-

4 ter the engine is started, the EPS system may not
be working correctly. When this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the EPS system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warning
light does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
TIP
If the engine is stopped using the engine stop
switch and the key is in the “ON” position, the
EPS warning light comes on to indicate that the
power assistance for the steering is not function-
ing.
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.EBU29621On-Command four-wheel-drive indicator“”,
On-Command differential gear lock
indicator“” and indicator light “DIFF.
LOCK”
The On-Command four-wheel-drive indicator“”
comes on when the On-Command four-wheel-
drive switch is set to the “4WD” position.The On-Command differential gear lock
indicator“” and the On-Command differential
gear lock indicator light “DIFF. LOCK” come on
when the On-Command differential gear lock
switch is set to the “LOCK” position.
TIP
Due to the synchronizing mechanism in the dif-
ferential gear case, the four-wheel-drive indica-
tor may not come on until the ATV starts moving.
When the On-Command differential gear lock
switch is set to “LOCK”, the indicator“” and
the indicator light “DIFF. LOCK” will flash until
the differential gear is locked. If the indicator and
the indicator light continue to flash, the differen-
tial is not locked. In this case, start moving to al-
low time for the differential to lock.

4Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diagnosis de-
vice for various electrical circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those circuits, the
multi-function display will indicate an error code.
If the multi-function display indicates an error code,
note the code number, and then have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.
NOTICEECB00811If the multi-function display indicates an error
code, the vehicle should be checked as soon
as possible in order to avoid engine damage.

turned off for an extended period of time, oth-
erwise the battery may discharge to the point
that the starter motor will not operate properly.
If this should happen, remove the battery and
recharge it. See page 8-55 for battery charging
information.EBU18170Horn switch“”
Press the switch to sound the horn.
EBU18190Override switch “OVERRIDE”
Top speed is normally limited when operating in
differential gear lock. If conditions require more en-
gine power when riding forward, push and hold this
switch to override the differential gear lock speed
limiting function. (See page 4-10.) Releasing the
switch restores the speed limiting function.
While the override switch is pushed, the segments
of the speedometer digits will appear as shown in
the figure.1. Override switch “OVERRIDE”
