This model is equipped with an inte-
grated, computerized management system
that controls and adjusts ignition timing, fuel
injection, engine diagnostics, and the Off-
Throttle Steering (OTS) system.
EJU20723
Yamaha Security System/
Low-RPM mode (for VX110
Deluxe)
This watercraft is equipped with a remote
control transmitter 1 that is used to select
the security system and low-RPM mode set-
tings. Since the watercraft is programmed to
recognize the internal code from this trans-
mitter only, the security system setting can
only be changed with this transmitter. If you
lose the remote control transmitter or it does
not operate properly, contact a Yamaha
dealer.
EJU21561
Yamaha Security System (for
VX110 Deluxe)
The Yamaha Security System functions to
help prevent unauthorized use or theft of the
watercraft. The engine cannot be started if
the security system is in the lock mode. The
engine can only be started in the unlock
mode.

Selecting the normal mode/
low-RPM mode (for VX110 Deluxe)
The normal mode and low-RPM mode
can only be selected when the engine is
stopped in the unlock mode. Press the
unlock button for more than 4 seconds to
select the normal mode or low-RPM mode.
Normal mode
If the beeper sounds twice, the normal
mode is activated.
The watercraft can be ridden normally.
Low-RPM mode
If the beeper sounds three times, the
low-RPM mode is activated and the
“L-MODE” indicator light 5 comes on.
Maximum engine speed (r/min) in the
low-RPM mode is limited to approximately
90% of the maximum engine speed in the
normal mode.
NOTE:@
If neither the start switch nor the remote
control transmitter is operated within
25 seconds after the unlock button is
pressed to select the unlock mode, the
multifunction meter display and the
“L-MODE” indicator light will go off. To
change the modes again, press the lock
button briefly to select the lock mode, and
then press the unlock button again for
less than 4 seconds to select the unlock
mode.

While the engine is running, input from
the remote control transmitter is not
received.
@
CAUTION:@ If the remote control transmitter does not
operate when its buttons are pressed,
the battery may be low. Have a Yamaha
dealer replace the battery.

Launching the watercraft
When launching the watercraft, make
sure that there are no obstructions around
you.
If there are waves, someone should make
sure that the watercraft is not pushed into
the trailer after launching the watercraft.

For VX110 Deluxe
Use the remote control transmitter to
select the unlock mode. (See page 2-16

low-RPM mode selection procedures.)
After the watercraft is in the water, start
the engine. Shift into reverse and slowly
move away from the launching area.

For VX110 Sport
After the watercraft is in the water, turn it
around so the bow faces the direction you
want to go. Start the engine, and then
slowly move away from the launching
area.

WARNING@ Never start the engine or let it run for any
length of time in an enclosed area.

2. Launch the watercraft in water free from
weeds and debris and at least 60 cm
(2 ft) deep.

60 cm (2 ft) deep, otherwise you increase
your chance of hitting a submerged
object, which could result in injury.
@

60 cm (2 ft) deep, otherwise pebbles or
sand could be sucked into the jet intake,
causing impeller damage or engine over-
