Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely
flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and
to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, fol-
low these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be
sure that no one is sitting in the vehicle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or other sourc-
es of ignition such as the pilot lights of water
heaters and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel ex-
pands when it heats up, heat from the engine
or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely.

Before you shift into reverse, make sure there
are no obstacles or people behind you. When it
is safe to proceed, go slowly. Hitting an obsta-
cle or person could result in serious injury or

Yamaha dealer to inspect the reverse in-
dicator light electrical circuit.

stop the vehicle, make sure the On-Command
four-wheel-drive switch is set to “4WD”, move the
differential gear lock lever to positiona, and then
set the switch to “LOCK”. When the differential
gear is locked, the differential gear lock indicator
light “DIFF. LOCK” will come on along with the dif-
ferential gear lock indicator “” in the multi-func-
tion display. To unlock the differential gear, stop
the vehicle and set the switch to “4WD”.

When the switch is set to “LOCK” or “4WD”, the
differential gear lock indicator and indicator
light will flash until the differential gear is com-
pletely locked or unlocked.

ing, turning the steering wheel back and forth

disengage.


Driving before the differential gear is properly
engaged or disengaged (e.g., when the indica-
tor and indicator light are flashing) will cause
the engine speed to be limited until the differen-
tial gear is completely engaged or disengaged.
