The speedometer unit is equipped with the follow-
ing:

a speedometer (which shows the riding speed)


an odometer (which shows the total distance

eled since they were last set to zero)


a clock


an hour meter (which shows the total time the
key has been turned to “ON”)
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “TRIP/ODO” button switches the dis-

EBU13811
Override switch “OVERRIDE”
Top speed is normally limited when operating in
4WD-LOCK. If conditions require more engine
power when riding forward, push and hold this
switch to override the 4WD-LOCK speed limiting
function. (See pages 4-31–4-33 for a detailed ex-
planation about the differential gear lock switch
and its function.) Releasing the switch restores the
speed limiting function.
While this switch is pushed, the segments of the
speedometer digits will appear as shown in the fig-
ure.NOTE:_ If the digits of the speedometer appear as shown
when the switch is NOT being pushed, this could
indicate a malfunction in the electrical system. In
this case, take the ATV to a Yamaha dealer at the
first opportunity. _

then set the switch to “4WD”. When the ATV is in
4WD, the 4WD indicator “” will come on in the
speedometer unit display.
To change from 4WD to 2WD, stop the ATV, be
sure the lever is set to position
a, and then set the
switch to “2WD”.

2. Levier
1. Selector de bloqueo del diferencial “LOCK”/“4WD”
2. Palanca
Differential gear lock switch “LOCK”/“4WD”
To lock the differential gear in 4WD, make sure the
On-Command four-wheel-drive switch is set to
“4WD”, stop the ATV, move the lever to position
b, and then set the switch to “LOCK”. When the
differential gear is locked, the differential gear lock
indicator (“DIFF.LOCK”) light will come on along
with the indicator “” in the speedometer unit
display.
To release the differential gear lock, stop the ATV
and set the switch to “4WD”.
WARNING
_ Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
4WD-LOCK, and allow extra time and distance
for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential is locked, so it takes more effort to
turn the ATV. The amount of effort is more the
faster you go. You may lose control and have
an accident if you cannot make a sharp
enough turn for the speed you are traveling. _
