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.

Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “TRIP/ODO” button switches the dis-
play between the odometer mode “ODO” and the
tripmeter modes “TRIP A” and “TRIP B” in the fol-
lowing 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 en-
ables you to plan future fuel stops.TIPTo switch the display between “km/h” and “mph”,
turn the key to “OFF”, then push and hold the
“TRIP/ODO” button while turning the key to “ON”.

The engine can be started in any gear if
the brake pedal is applied. However, it is
recommended 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; otherwise, damage to the
electric starter 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 backrest.


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.

when in “2WD”. For the parking brake to take ef-
fect on all four wheels, shift to “LOCK” before stop-
ping the engine.

may roll out of control. Never park on hills that are
so steep you cannot walk up them easily. If you
must park on an incline follow these instructions:
1. Bring the vehicle to a stop by applying the
brake pedal.
2. Put the vehicle in “LOCK”.
3. Turn the key to “OFF”.
4. With the brake pedal applied, set the parking
brake.
5. Block the front and rear wheels with rocks or
other objects.
