Multifunction information

center

The multifunction information center displays
various watercraft information.

Multifunction information center initial op-
eration

When the multifunction information center is
activated, all of the display segments come
on. After 2 seconds, the warning indicators in
the information display go off, and then the
center starts to operate normally.
If only the multifunction information center is
activated, the “WARNING” indicator light
blinks once.

TIP:

The “UNLOCK” indicator light also comes on
as part of the initial operation.
The “UNLOCK” indicator light will go off
when the engine is started.

Multifunction information center standby
state

If the multifunction information center does
not receive any operation input within 25 sec-
onds after the engine stops, the center will
turn off and enter a standby state. When the
engine is started again, the displays return to

their state before the center turned off, and
then the center starts to operate normally.
