This function can be used only when the wa-
tercraft is in neutral.
TIP:
While the watercraft is shifted into forward,
the “TRIM/T.D.E.” switches control the elec-
tric trim system. (See page 32 for information
on the electric trim system.)
Activating and deactivating the T.D.E.
The activation of the T.D.E. can be confirmed
by the T.D.E. indicator on the multifunction
information center.
To activate the T.D.E.:
(1) Shift into neutral.
(2) Push the “TRIM/T.D.E.” up switch tomove forward at a very low speed or
push the “TRIM/T.D.E.” down switch to
move in reverse at a very low speed.
TIP:
While the T.D.E. is activated, the “N” (neutral)
shift indicator will be displayed and “0” will be
displayed on the speedometer.
To deactivate the T.D.E.:
Perform one of the following operations. The
T.D.E. indicator disappears and the T.D.E. is
deactivated.
Squeeze the throttle lever.
Squeeze the RiDE lever.
Push and hold the “NO-WAKE MODE”
switch.
While moving forward at a very low speed,
push the “TRIM/T.D.E.” down switch.
While moving in reverse at a very low
speed, push the “TRIM/T.D.E.” up switch.
TIP:
The T.D.E. is also deactivated when the en-
gine is stopped.
EJU45051No-wake mode
The no-wake mode is a function that main-
tains the engine speed at a fixed setting for
operating the watercraft at low speeds. While
the watercraft is operating in no-wake mode,
the engine speed can be adjusted to one en-
gine speed each above and below the initial
engine speed.
This function can be used only when the wa-
tercraft is in neutral, or when the watercraft is
shifted into forward and the engine is operat-
ing at idling speed.
TIP:
If the no-wake mode is activated when the
watercraft is in neutral, the watercraft will au-
tomatically shift into forward and the water-
craft will start moving at a low speed.

ting the maximum watercraft speed and ac-
celeration for stable towing and to support
inexperienced operators.
The maximum watercraft speed can be se-
lected from three settings and the accelera-
tion can be selected from two settings.
TIP:
The watercraft speed setting is a target value.
The actual watercraft speed may vary de-
pending on the operating conditions.
Activating the drive control mode
Activation of the drive control mode can be

EJU45021Cruise 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
“SET” switch. Once the beeper sounds
three times and the cruise assist indica-
tor is displayed, the cruise assist is acti-
vated.
(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, push
the “SPEED CONTROL” up switch to in-
crease the set engine speed or the
“SPEED CONTROL” down switch to de-
crease the set engine speed. The engine
speed can be changed in the range of
the cruise assist levels –5 to +5.
TIP:
Because the cruise assist can only be set be-
tween engine speeds of approximately 3000
r/min and approximately 7000 r/min, the
cruise assist level cannot be adjusted to an
engine speed outside of this range.
To deactivate the cruise assist:
Relax your grip on the throttle lever past the
position at which the cruise assist was set.
The beeper sounds two times and the cruise
assist indicator disappears when the cruise
assist is deactivated.

For safety, do not touch the multifunction
information center while the watercraft is
moving. Otherwise, you could lose control
of the watercraft, which may lead to an ac-
cident.
TIP:
The multifunction information center does not
receive operation input while the watercraft is
moving. Before operating the multifunction
information center, stop the watercraft and
check the area around you to make sure it is
safe to operate the center.

Perform one of the following operations to
turn on the multifunction information center
without starting the engine.
Push the start switch briefly.
While pushing the engine stop switch,
push the start switch.
Turning off the multifunction information
center
If the multifunction information center does
not receive any operation input within 25 sec-
onds after the engine stops or if 3 minutes
has elapsed after the engine stops, the center
turns off.
TIP:
The multifunction information center turns off
3 minutes after the engine stops even if there
is operation input.
Message indicating that operation input
cannot be received
If “Turn OFF Engine”, “Engine Comm Error”,
or other message appears in red characters
during touch operation, the operation input
cannot be received because the input condi-
tions are not satisfied.
Perform the operation again according to the
displayed message, or stop the engine to
turn off the multifunction information center,
and then turn on the center again. If the mes-
sage remains displayed, consult a Yamaha
dealer.
