Cruise control system
(XP530D-A)
The cruise control system is designed
to maintain a set cruising speed be-
tween about 50 km/h (31 mi/h) and 140
km/h (87 mi/h).
WARNING
EWA16341
Improper use of the cruise con-
trol system may result in loss of
control, which could lead to an
accident. Do not activate the
cruise control system in heavy
traffic, poor weather conditions,
or among winding, slippery,
hilly, rough or gravel roads.
When traveling uphill or down-
hill, the cruise control system
may not be able to maintain the
set cruising speed.
To prevent accidentally activat-
ing the cruise control system,
turn it off when not in use. Make
sure that the cruise control sys-
tem indicator light “ ” is off. Activating the cruise control sys-
tem
1. Push the cruise control power switch “ ” to turn on the system.
The cruise control system indicator
light “ ” will come on.
2. Push the “SET–” side of the cruise control setting switch to activate
the cruise control system. Your
current traveling speed will be-
come the set cruising speed. The
cruise control setting indicator light
“SET” will come on.
Adjusting the set cruising speed
While the cruise control system is oper-
ating, push the “RES+” side of the
cruise control setting switch to increase
the set cruising speed or the “SET–”
side to decrease the set speed.
TIP
Pushing the setting switch once will
change the speed in increments of ap-
proximately 2.0 km/h (1.2 mi/h). Hold-
ing down the “RES+” or “SET–” side of
the cruise control setting switch will in-
crease or decrease the speed continu-
ously until the switch is released.

14 traveling speed using the throttle. After
you have accelerated, you can set a
new cruising speed by pushing the
“SET–” side of the setting switch. If you
do not set a new cruising speed, when
you return the throttle grip, the vehicle
will decelerate to the previously set
cruising speed.
Deactivating the cruise control sys-
tem
Perform one of the following operations
to cancel the set cruising speed. The
“SET” indicator light will turn off.
Turn the throttle grip past the
closed position in the deceleration
direction.
Apply the front or rear brake.
TIP
Traveling speed decreases as soon as
the cruise control system is deactivat-
ed; unless the throttle grip is turned.
Using the resume function
Push the “RES+” side of the cruise con-
trol setting switch to reactivate the
cruise control system. The traveling
speed will return to the previously set
cruising speed. The “SET” indicator
light will come on.
WARNING
EWA16351
It is dangerous to use the resume
function when the previously set
cruising speed is too high for cur-
rent conditions.
Turning off the cruise control sys-
tem
Push the cruise control power switch
“ ” to turn off the cruise control sys-
tem. The “ ” indicator light and the
“SET” indicator light will turn off.
TIP
Whenever the cruise control system or
the vehicle power is turned off, the pre-
viously set cruisi
ng speed is erased.
You will not be able to use the resume
function until a new cruising speed has
been set.
Automatic deactivation of the cruise
control system
The cruise control system is electroni-
cally controlled and linked with other
control systems. The cruise control sys-
tem will automatically deactivate under
the following conditions:
The cruise control system is not
able to maintain the set cruising
speed (such as when going up a
steep hill).
Wheel slip or wheel spin is detect-
ed. (If the traction control system is
on, traction control will engage.)
Engine trouble, etc.
If the cruise control system is automati-
cally deactivated, the “ ” indicator
light will turn off and the “SET” indicator
light will flash for 4 seconds.

Sports mode “S”
This mode offers a sportier engine re-
sponse in the low- to mid-speed range
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.

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:

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.
EAU74082Traction control system indicator
