matically deactivated, please stop and
confirm that your vehicle is in good op-
erating condition before continuing on.
When traveling on roads with steep
grades, the cruise control system may
not be able to maintain the set cruising
speed.
When going uphill, the actual trav-
eling speed may become lower
than the set cruising speed. If this
occurs, accelerate to the desired
traveling speed using the throttle.
When going downhill, the actual
traveling speed may become high-
er than the set cruising speed. If
this occurs, the setting switch can-
not be used to adjust the set cruis-
ing speed. To reduce the traveling
speed, apply the brakes. When the
brakes are applied, the cruise con-
trol system will deactivate.

D-mode (drive mode)
(XP530-A, XP530D-A)
D-mode is an electronically controlled
engine performance system with two
mode selections (touring mode “T” and
sports mode “S”).
WARNING
EWA18440
Do not change the drive mode while
the vehicle is moving.
With the throttle grip closed, push the
drive mode switch “MODE” to switch
between modes “S” (sports) and “T”
(touring).
TIP
The current drive mode is shown in
the drive mode display (page 5-7).
The current drive mode is saved
when the vehicle is turned off.
TIP
D-mode cannot be changed while
cruise control (XP530D-A) is activated.
Touring mode “T”
The touring mode “T” is suitable for var-
ious riding conditions.
This mode allows the rider to enjoy
smooth drivability from the low-speed

Sports mode “S”
This mode offers a sportier engine re-

compared to the touring mode.
EAU77281
Traction control system
The traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when accelerat-
ing on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip (un-
controlled spinning), the traction control
system assists by
regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored.
When traction control has engaged, the
“ ” indicator light will flash. You may
notice changes in engine response or
exhaust sounds.
WARNING
EWA18860
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution and avoid especially slip-
pery surfaces.

When the vehicle is turned on, traction
control is automatically turned on.
To turn the traction control system off,
see page 5-11.
TIP
Turn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the vehicle
gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft
surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 8-17.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.
Resetting the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable under certain condi-
tions; such as when a sensor fault is
detected, or when only one wheel is al-
lowed to rotate for more than a few sec-
onds. Should this happen, the “ ”
indicator light will come on, and possi-
bly the “ ” warning light, too.
TIP
When the vehicle is on the centerstand,
do not rev the engine for an extended
period of time. Otherwise, the traction
control system will automatically dis-
able and need to be reset.
If the traction control system automati-
cally disables, try resetting it as follows.
1. Stop the vehicle and turn it off completely.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn the vehicle power on.
3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be enabled.
TIP
If the “ ” indicator light remains on af-
ter resetting, the vehicle may still be rid-
den; however, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle as soon as possible.
4. Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle and turn off the “ ” warn-
ing light.

The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the vehicle
power on. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.

cle.
EAU77072Anti-lock brake system warning light
“”
This warning light comes on when a
problem is detected with the ABS. (See
page 5-19.)
When the vehicle power is turned on,
this light will come on and then go off af-
ter reaching a traveling speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h). If the warning light:
does not come on when the vehi-
cle power is turned on
does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher
comes on or flashes while riding
the anti-lock brake system may not
work correctly. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle as soon as possible.
WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-
cal circuits as soon as possible.
TIP
The ABS warning light may come on
when revving the engine with the scoot-
er on its centerstand, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.

tem.
TIP
When the start switch is pushed, the in-
dicator light will come on for about one
second and then go off. If the indicator
light does not come on or go off as nor-
mal, have a Yamaha dealer check the

Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear from
“F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the fuel
level decreases. When the last seg-
ment starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.

If a problem is detected in the fuel me-
ter electrical circuit,
the fuel meter will
flash repeatedly. Have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle.
Coolant temperature meter
The coolant temperature varies with changes in the weather and engine
load. If the top segment starts flashing,
the information display automatically
changes to “C-TEMP” and “Hi” flashes.
Stop the vehicle and let the engine
cool. (See page 8-35.)
