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

Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “TRIP/ODO” button switches the dis-
play between the odometer mode “ODO” and the
tripmeter modes “A” and “B” in the following order:
ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the “TRIP/
ODO” button, and then hold the “TRIP/ODO” but-
ton for at least three seconds. The tripmeters can
be used to estimate the distance that can be trav-
eled with a full tank of fuel. This information will en-
able you to plan future fuel stops.
To switch the display between “km/h” and “mph”,
push and hold the “TRIP/ODO” button while turn-
ing the key to “ON”.

The engine can be started in any gear if
the brake is applied. However, it is recom-
mended to shift into neutral before starting
the engine.
4. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, start
the engine by turning the key to “START”.
If the engine fails to start, release the key, and then
try starting it again. Wait a few seconds before the
next attempt. Each attempt should be as short as
possible, to preserve battery energy. NOTICE: Do
not crank the engine more than 5 seconds on
each attempt, or starter damage could occur.
Wait at least 5 seconds between each opera-
tion of the electric starter to let it cool.
Do not turn the key to the “START” position with
the engine running, or damage to the electric start-
er may result.

Driver requirements

This vehicle is intended for use only by an op-
erator 16 or older with a valid motor vehicle li-
cense. Check country laws for minimum age
requirements.


The driver must be able to place both feet flat
on the floorboard while seated upright with his/
her back against the seat back.


Do not drive after using drugs or alcohol.
Remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in
use to prevent unauthorized use of the machine.
Parents:
Many countries have implemented new motor ve-
hicle licensing requirements for young drivers.
These requirements are in response to the dispro-
portionately high rate of crashes involving youthful
drivers. As with automobiles, to promote safe driv-
ing behaviors, you should supervise younger driv-
ers and consider setting rules and putting limits on
how, when, and where the Rhino can be used.
