ing brake is applied.EBU36450High beam indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the high
beam of the headlight is switched on.EBU35851Differential gear lock indicator light “DIFF
LOCK”
This indicator light comes on when the front
differential gear is locked.TIPWhen the On–Command drive knob is set to
“DIFF LOCK”, the indicator light will flash until
the differential is locked. Turn the steering
wheel back and forth or drive slowly to help
the differential gear lock to engage.
EBU34921Drivetrain icon “ / ”
The drivetrain icon indicates what type of
drive mode is currently selected. When 2WD
is selected, the icon will turn off. When 4WD
is selected, “ ” is displayed. And when 4WD
with differential lock is selected “ ” is dis-
played.TIP See pages 4-21 and 6-10 for more informa-
tion on selecting the drive mode.
 Due to the synchronizing mechanism in the
differential gear case, the drivetrain icon
may not come on until the vehicle starts
moving.
 When the On-Command drive knob is set
to “DIFF LOCK” or “4WD”, the drivetrain
icon and the differential gear lock indicator
light will flash until the differential gear is
completely locked or unlocked. If the icon
and the indicator light continue to flash, the

This indicator light can be set to come on and
go off at the desired engine speeds and is
u s ed t o i n fo rm t h e dr iv er wh e n it i s ti m e t o u p -
shift.
The electrical circuit of the indicator light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the indicator light does not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if the
indicator light remains on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.TIPSee page 4-16 for a detailed explanation of
this indicator light and how to set it.
EBU35283Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the coolant
temperature, and therefore the engine, is out-
side its normal operating temperature range.
The warning light comes on in blue to inform
the driver that the vehicle should be warmed
up. After the engine is started, warm it up until
the warning light goes off.
The vehicle can be operated normally when
the warning light is off.
The warning light comes on in red when the
engine is overheating. If the red light comes
on, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so and allow the engine to idle for about 10
minutes. If the warning light does not go off,
stop the engine and allow it to cool. (See page
8-71.)TIPIf you continue to drive the vehicle while the
engine is overheating, a buzzer will sound.

check the vehicle. NOTICEECB02040The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.
 After restarting, make sure that the
warning light is out. Continuous use
while this warning light is on may cause
damage to the engine.
EBU31341Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on or flashes if a
problem is detected in the electrical circuit
monitoring the engine. When this occurs, the
display will indicate an error code (see page
4-19). Have a Yamaha dealer check the self-
diagnosis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the warning light does not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if the

started, the EPS system may not be working
correctly. When this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the EPS system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the warning light does not come on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.TIPIf the steering load is too heavy (e.g., exces-
sive steering use at slow speed or when op-
erating in deep mud, sand, or snow), the
power assist is reduced to protect the EPS
motor from overheating. EBU36713Half clutch indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on to inform the

be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the indicator light does not come on and then
go off, have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
TIPIf the indicator light stays on while driving, ei-
ther release the accelerator pedal or further
press down the accelerator pedal (release or
increase throttle) to fully engage or disengage
the clutch. NOTICEECB03351Do not use the throttle (accelerator pedal)
to hold the vehicle stationary when on an
incline or navigating obstacles. Continu-
ous operation while the indicator light is on
may lead to shortened clutch life.

EBU36643Launch system indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the launch
system is activated. If the indicator light is

tion has been detected. See “Launch system
operation” on page 6-7 for more information.
The electrical circuit of the indicator light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the indicator light does not come on and then
go off, have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.TIPIf the launch system indicator light is flashing,
release the accelerator pedal and shift pad-
dles to reset the system. When the engine
speed returns to idle, the indicator light will go
off. You can now start off as normal in first
gear, or retry activating the launch system.
EBU36743YCC-S system warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when an error

The engine may not start even though the
starter motor operates. If the YCC-S system stops working correctly
while driving, the YCC-S warning light will
come on. If this occurs, it may be impossible
to shift out of the gear you are in; and the
clutch may stay engaged, so a shuddering
sensation may be felt when you come to a
stop. Stop the vehicle on level ground safely
off the main trail, and have the YCC-S system
serviced by a Yamaha dealer before further
operation.TIPIf shifting into neutral is impossible using the
shift paddles and drive select lever, proceed
as follows if it is nece ssary to move the vehi-
cle after it has stopped. 1. Turn the key to “ ” (off).
2. Remove panel B (page 8-11). 3. While rocking the vehicle back and forth,
push the shift rod and shift arm pivot
downward (or upward if the transmission
was in reverse) until the transmission is in
neutral.
WARNING

Do not shift the transmission into neutral
if the vehicle is stopped on an incline un-
less the parking brake is applied or vehi-
cle movement is secured by other
means. Otherwise, when the transmis-
sion is shifted into neutral, the vehicle
may roll downhill and possibly cause an
accident, serious injury or death. EBU31361Helmet reminder light “ ”
