On-Command four-wheel-drive indicator “”,
On-Command differential gear lock indicator
“” and indicator light “DIFF. LOCK”
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
“” and the On-Command differential gear lock
indicator light “DIFF. LOCK” come on when the
On-Command differential gear lock switch is set to
the “LOCK” position.TIP

Due to the synchronizing mechanism in the
differential gear case, the four-wheel-drive in-
dicator may not come on until the Rhino
starts moving.


When the On-Command differential gear lock
switch is set to “LOCK” or “4WD”, the indica-
tor “” and the indicator light “DIFF. LOCK”
will flash until the differential gear is com-
pletely locked or unlocked. If the indicator
and the indicator light continue to flash, the
differential is not completely locked or un-
locked. In this case, start moving to allow
time for the differential to lock or unlock.

Coolant temperature warning light “”
If the coolant temperature reaches a specific level,
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 8-158.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warning
light does not come on initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if the warning light remains 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 warn-
ing light is out. Continuous use while this
warning light is on may cause damage to
the engine.

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 initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if the warning light remains on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.

The fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel meter
disappear from “F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the
fuel level decreases. When the “E” segment disap-
pears and the fuel level warning indicator flashes,
refuel as soon as possible.TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-diagnosis
system. If a problem is detected in an electrical cir-
cuit, all the display segments and fuel level warn-
ing indicator start flashing. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.
