Watercraft control functionsEJU45090Yamaha Security System
The Yamaha Security System functions to
help prevent unauthorized use or theft of the
watercraft. The lock and unlock modes of the
security system can be selected using the
engine lock screen of the multifunction infor-
mation center. The engine cannot be started
if the lock mode of the security system is se-
lected. The engine can only be started if the
unlock mode is selected.
TIP:
The Yamaha Security System setting can
only be selected while the engine is stopped.
EJU45100Yamaha Security System settingThe Yamaha Security System setting can be
confirmed by the lock or unlock mode indica-
tor on the multifunction information center.
To select the lock or unlock mode of the
Yamaha Security System:
(1) Stop the engine.
TIP:
If the multifunction information center is
turned off because the engine is stopped,
perform one of the following operations to
turn on the center without starting the engine.
Push the start switch briefly.
While pushing the engine stop switch,
push the start switch. (2) Tap the lock or unlock mode indicator on
the multifunction information center.
(3) Flick up or down to set each digit of the 4-digit PIN, and then tap the “Enter” but-
ton.
TIP:
The default setting for the PIN is “1234”. The
PIN can also be changed. (See page 44 for in-
formation on changing the PIN.)

EJU31153Engine stop switch “ ”
The engine stop switch (red button) stops the
engine when the switch is pushed.
EJU31164Engine shut-off switch “ ”
The engine shut-off switch automatically
stops the engine when the clip, on the end of
the engine shut-off cord (lanyard), is removed
from the switch, such as if the operator falls
off the watercraft.
Insert the clip under the engine shut-off
switch before starting the engine.
When the engine is not running, remove the
clip from the engine shut-off switch to pre-vent accidental starting or unauthorized op-
eration by children or others.
EJU42323Start switch “ ”ECJ01311
Do not run the engine over 4000 r/min on
land. Also, do not run the engine for more
than 15 seconds without supplying water,
otherwise the engine could overheat.
The start switch (green button) starts the en-
gine when the switch is pushed.
Release the start switch as soon as the en-
gine starts to run. If the engine does not start
in 5 seconds, release the start switch, wait 15
seconds, and then try again.

be damaged.
[ECJ01041]
The engine will not start under any of the fol-
lowing conditions:
Lock mode of the Yamaha Security System
has been selected. (See page 25 for
Yamaha Security System setting proce- dures.)

The throttle lever increases the engine speed
when the lever is squeezed.
The throttle lever returns automatically to its
fully closed (idle) position when released.
EJU43342RiDE lever
When the RiDE lever is squeezed, the reverse
gate lowers and the watercraft starts moving
in reverse. If the watercraft is moving forward,
the watercraft gradually slows down until it
stops, and then the watercraft starts moving
in reverse.
When the RiDE lever is released, it automati-
cally returns to its fully closed (idle) position
and the reverse gate moves to the neutral po-
sition.

(2) Make sure that the tilt lever returns to itsoriginal position and that the handlebars
are securely locked in place.
EJU35975Cooling water pilot outlet
When the engine is running, some of the
cooling water that is circulated in the engine
is discharged from the cooling water pilot
outlet.
There is a cooling water pilot outlet on the
port (left) side of the watercraft. To check for
proper operation of the cooling system, make
sure that water is being discharged from the
cooling water pilot outlet. If water is not being
discharged from the outlet, stop the engine
and check the jet intake for clogging. (See
page 100 for information on the jet intake.)
TIP:
It will take about 60 seconds for the water
to reach the outlet after the engine is start-
ed.
Water discharge may not be constant
when the engine is running at idling speed.
If this occurs, apply a little throttle to make
sure that water discharges properly.
EJU40323Water separator
The water separator prevents water from en-
tering the fuel tank by collecting any water
that has entered the fuel tank breather hose if
the watercraft was capsized.
If water has collected in the water separator,
drain it by loosening the drain screw.
To drain water from the water separator:
(1) Place a drain pan or dry cloth under thewater separator.
(2) Gradually loosen the drain screw to drain the water. Catch the draining water in the
drain pan or soak it up with the dry cloth
so that it does not spill into the engine
compartment. If any water spills into the
watercraft, be sure to wipe it up with a
dry cloth.
(3) Securely tighten the drain screw until it stops.1Cooling water pilot outlet

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.

Multifunction information center
The multifunction information center displays
various watercraft information.
The multifunction information center is a
touch screen that you can touch directly to
turn the various functions on or off or change
settings.
In addition, the language and display units
shown can be changed. (See page 44 for in-
formation on changing the language and dis-
play units.) In the illustrations in this manual,
English is used for the language and US units
are used for the display units.
EWJ01980
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.
Turning on the multifunction information
center
When the start switch is pushed, the multi-
function information center turns on. After the
logo display appears for a few seconds, the
home screen is displayed and the touch
screen can be operated by touching it.
TIP:
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.
