the multi-function display will
automatically change to the "Trip/Fuel"
mode. (See page 3-4 — 3-5 for details.).
If this occurs, refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE :
Do not allow the fuel tank to empty itself
completely.

•an odometer (which shows the
total distance traveled)
•two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero, the time passed
since the tripmeters were set to
zero, and the average speed
traveled during this time)
•a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)
•a clock
•an ambient temperature display
•an oil change indicator (which
comes on when the engine oil
should be changed)
NOTE :
•For the UK, the distance traveled
is displayed in miles and the
temperature reading is displayed
in °F.
•For other countries, the distance
traveled is displayed in kilometers
and the temperature reading is
displayed in °C.Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the "MODE" button switches
the display between the odometer
mode "Total" and the tripmeter modes
"Trip" in the following order:

Sidestand
The sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
scooter upright.
NOTE :
The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See further down for an explanation
of the ignition circuit cut-off system.)
EW000044
The scooter must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the
sidestand cannot be properly moved
up (or does not stay up), otherwise
the sidestand could contact the
ground and distract the operator,
resulting in a possible loss of
control. Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-
off system has been designed to
assist the operator in fulfilling the
responsibility of raising the
sidestand before starting off.
Therefore, check this system
regularly as described below and
have a Yamaha dealer repair it if it
does not function properly.
1. Sidestand switch
WARNINGEAU00337
Ignition circuit cut-off
system
The ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch and
brake light switches) has the following
functions.
•It prevents starting when the
sidestand is up, but neither brake
is applied.
•It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the sidestand
is still down.
•It cuts the running engine when
the sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of the
ignition circuit cut-off system according
to the following procedure.
EW000045
If a malfunction is noted, have a
Yamaha dealer check the system
before riding.
