12 range may be affected by the sur-
rounding environment.

When the battery of the smart key
is discharged, the smart key may
not work or its operating range be-
come very small.

If the smart key is turned off, the
vehicle will not recognize the smart
key even if it is within operating
range.

If the “ON/ ” switch, “OFF/LOCK”
switch, or “SEAT OPEN/ ”
switch are repeatedly pressed
when the smart key is out of range
or cannot communicate with the
vehicle, all switches will be tempo-
rarily disabled.

Placing the smart key in the front
or rear storage compartment may
block communication between the
smart key and the vehicle. If the
rear trunk is locked with the smart
key inside, the smart key system
may be disabled. The smart key
should always be carried on your
person.

When leaving the vehicle, make
sure you apply the steering lock
and take the smart key with you. It is recommended that you turn the
smart key off.

Handling of the
smart key and
mechanical key
WARNING
EWA17952

The smart key should be carried
with you. Do not store it on the
vehicle.

When the smart key is within op-
erating range, exercise due care
because other people not carry-
ing the smart key can start theengine and operate the vehicle.
Included with the vehicle is one smart
key (with a built-in mechanical key) and
one spare mechanical key with an iden-
tification tag. Keep the spare mechani-
cal key and tag separate from the smart
key. Should you lose or damage the
smart key, or when its battery is dis-
charged, the mechanical key will serve
as a back up. The seat can be opened,
the smart key system identification
number can be manually input, and
then the vehicle can be operated. (See
page 7-38.) We recommend that you
note down the identification number
in case of emergency.

may get wet while the scooter is
being washed, wrap any articles
stored in the compartment in a
plastic bag.

possible mold growth, wrap wet
articles in a plastic bag before
storing them in the compart-
ment.

Do not keep anything valuable
or breakable in the storage com-
partment.

TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha scooters receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur dur-
ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,
compression, or ignition systems, for
example, can cause poor starting and
loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your scooter re-
quire any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the scooter prop-
erly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look like
Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-
or, have a shorter service life and can
lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWA15142
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the ar-
ea, including pilot lights from water heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or
gasoline vapors can ignite or ex-
plode, causing severe injury or
property damage.
Smart key system troubleshooting
Please check the following items when
the smart key system does not work.
Is the smart key turned on? (See
page 3-5.)

Is the smart key battery dis-
charged? (See page 3-6.)

Is the smart key battery installed
correctly? (See page 3-6.)

Is the smart key being used in a lo-
cation with strong radio waves or
other electromagnetic noise? (See
page 3-1.)

Are you using the smart key that is
registered to the vehicle?

Is the vehicle battery discharged?
When the vehicle battery is dis-
charged, the smart key system will
not operate. Please have the vehi-
cle battery charged or replaced.
(See page 7-28.)
