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
“” in the On-Command four-wheel-drive indica-
tor also comes on when the On-Command differ-
ential gear lock switch is set to the “LOCK”
position.

Due to the synchronizing mechanism in the dif-
ferential gear case, the four-wheel-drive indica-
tor may not come on until the vehicle starts
moving.

switch is set to “LOCK”, the indicator “” will
flash until the differential gear is locked.

Coolant temperature warning light “”
If the coolant temperature reaches a specified lev-
el, this light comes on to warn that the coolant tem-
perature is too hot. If the light comes on during
operation, stop the engine as soon as it is safe to
do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes. (See page 8-154.)
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.NOTICE

The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the load
to specification.


After restarting, make sure that the light is
out. Continuous use while the light is on
may cause damage to the engine.

Engine trouble warning light “”
This warning light comes on or flashes when an
electrical circuit monitoring the engine is defective.
When this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the self-diagnosis system. (See page 4-23 for an
explanation of the self-diagnosis device.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warning
light does not come on, then go off, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.

Coolant
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cold (the coolant level will vary
with engine temperature).
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the
minimum and maximum level marks on the cool-
ant reservoir. If the coolant level is at or below the
minimum level mark, add additional coolant to
bring the level up to maximum level mark. If cool-
ant is not available, add distilled water. Change the
coolant every two years. (See pages 8-53–8-55 for
details.)NOTICE
Hard water or salt water is harmful to the en-
gine. You may use soft water if you cannot get
distilled water.
Coolant reservoir capacity
(up to the maximum level mark):
0.32 L (0.28 Imp qt, 0.34 US qt)

Starting the engine
1. Turn the main switch to “ON”.NOTICE
The coolant temperature warning light and en-
gine trouble warning light should come on,
then go off.
If a warning light does not go off, see pages
4-9–4-11 for the corresponding warning light
circuit check.
2. Apply the brake pedal.
3. Shift the drive select lever into the neutral po-
sition.


When the drive select lever is in the neu-
tral position, the neutral indicator light
should come on. If the neutral indicator
light does not come on, ask a Yamaha
dealer to inspect the electric circuit.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked before each
ride.
Checking the coolant level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold as the coolant
level varies with engine temperature. The
coolant should be between the minimum and
maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove the reservoir cap, add coolant
to the maximum level mark, reinstall the res-
ervoir cap.

Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed by a Yamaha dealer
at the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
Adding water instead of coolant lowers the anti-
freeze content of the coolant. If water is used in-
stead of coolant, have a Yamaha dealer check the
antifreeze content of the coolant as soon as possi-
ble.
The radiator fan is automatically switched on or off
according to the coolant temperature in the radia-
tor.NOTICE
Mix antifreeze with distilled water only. Howev-
er, if distilled water is not available, soft water
may be used for refilling.
If your vehicle overheats, see page 8-154 for in-
structions.
