TIP:
If the remote control transmitter is operated
while the multifunction information center is
in the standby state, the center performs the
initial operation, and then the setting is se-
lected.
To activate the Low RPM Mode:
Push the “L-Mode” (unlock) button on the re-
mote control transmitter for more than 4 sec-
onds. Once the beeper sounds three times
and the “UNLOCK” indicator light blinks
three times, then comes on, the “L-MODE”
indicator light comes on and the Low RPM
Mode is activated.
TIP:
If the Low RPM Mode is activated immediate-
ly after the information display turns off, the
“L-MODE” indicator light will not come on.
The “L-MODE” indicator light will come on
when the engine is started.To deactivate the Low RPM Mode:
Push the “L-Mode” (unlock) button on the re-
mote control transmitter for more than 4 sec-
onds. Once the beeper sounds two times and
the “UNLOCK” indicator light blinks two
times, then comes on, the “L-MODE” indica-
tor light goes off and the Low RPM Mode is
deactivated. When the Low RPM Mode is de-
activated, the watercraft returns to the nor-
mal operation mode.
EJU42481No-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. This
function can be used only for forward opera-
tion of the watercraft.
TIP:
The no-wake mode can only be activated af-
ter 5 seconds have elapsed since starting the
engine.
Activating and deactivating the no-wake
mode
Activation of the no-wake mode will be con-
firmed by the number of beeps when the
“NO-WAKE MODE” switch is pushed, and by
the digital speedometer display of the multi-
function information center. (See page 40 for
information on the multifunction information
center.)

TIP:
The beeps and the blinking digital speedom-
eter display also indicate the activation of the
cruise assist. (See page 37 for information on
the cruise assist.)
To activate the no-wake mode:
(1) Release the throttle lever and let the en-gine speed return to idle.
(2) Make sure that the shift lever is in the for- ward position. The no-wake mode can-
not be activated when the shift lever is in
the reverse or neutral position.
(3) Push and hold the “NO-WAKE MODE” switch. Once the beeper sounds three
times quickly and “8” (when kilometers
are selected) or “5” (when miles are se-
lected) starts blinking in the digital
speedometer display, the no-wake
mode is activated. Keep the throttle lever
in the fully closed (idle) position when the
no-wake mode is activated.
TIP:
The digital speedometer display blinks con-
tinually while the no-wake mode is activated.
To deactivate the no-wake mode:
Perform one of the following operations. The
beeper sounds two times quickly and the dig-
ital speedometer display stops blinking when
the no-wake mode is deactivated.
Push the “NO-WAKE MODE” switch.
Squeeze the throttle lever.
TIP:
The no-wake mode is also deactivated when
the engine is stopped.
EJU37026Cruise assist

a desired engine speed within a fixed range
while operating the watercraft.

TIP:
The cruise assist can only be set between
engine speeds of approximately 3000
r/min and approximately 7000 r/min.
The cruise assist cannot be activated in the
Low RPM Mode. (See page 35 for Low
RPM Mode activation procedures.)
Activating and deactivating the cruise as-
sist
Activation of the cruise assist will be con-
firmed by the number of beeps when the
“SET” switch, up switch, or down switch is
pushed, and by the digital speedometer dis-
play of the multifunction information center.
(See page 40 for information on the multi-
function information center.)
TIP:
The beeps and the blinking digital speedom-
eter display also indicate the activation of the
no-wake mode. (See page 36 for information
on the no-wake mode.)
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 quickly and the digital speed-
ometer display starts blinking, the cruise
assist is activated. When the cruise as-
sist is activated, slowly squeeze the
throttle lever to keep it squeezed further than the position at which the cruise as-
sist was set; releasing the throttle lever
will deactivate the cruise assist.
TIP:
The digital speedometer display blinks con-
tinually while the cruise assist is activated.
Make sure that the beeper has sounded and
the digital speedometer display is blinking
before squeezing the throttle lever to the full
throttle position. If the speedometer display is
not blinking, the cruise assist is not activated

Once the cruise assist is activated, the set
engine speed can be increased by pushing
the up switch or decreased by pushing the
down switch. Each time a switch is pushed,
the beeper will sound one time quickly andthe set engine speed will change. However,
the adjustment is limited to a maximum of five
increments above or below the initial cruise
assist setting.
To deactivate the cruise assist:
Relax your grip on the throttle lever. The
beeper sounds two times quickly and the dig-
ital speedometer display stops blinking when
the cruise assist is deactivated.

not receive any operation input within 25 sec-
onds after the engine stops, the center will
turn off and enter a standby state. When the
engine is started again, the displays return to
their state before the center turned off, and
then the center starts to operate normally.

ously. At the same time, the engine speed is
limited.
If the engine overheat warning is activated,
immediately reduce the engine speed, return
to shore, and then make sure that water is
being discharged from the port (left) cooling
water pilot outlet while the engine is running.
If there is no discharge of water, stop the en-
gine, and then check the jet intake for clog-
ging. (See page 104 for information on the jet
intake.) NOTICE: If you cannot locate and
correct the cause of the overheating, con-
sult a Yamaha dealer. Continuing to oper-
ate at higher speeds could result in severe
engine damage.
