speeds. If this occurs, the “WARNING” light
and the engine overheat warning indicator
come on and the buzzer sounds continuously.
In addition, the warning system will cut the ig-
nition to the engine to reduce the risk of se-
vere overheating. The engine cannot be
started until it cools down, so it may be neces-
sary to have the watercraft towed back to the
shore. (See “Towing the watercraft” on page
85 for towing procedures.)
The warning signals will be cleared when the
engine is restarted after it has cooled down.
NOTE:
●
Press the select button on the multifunction
information center to stop the buzzer.

If multiple warnings occur at the same time,
their priority is as follows:
(1) Final engine overheat warning
(2) Fuel level warning
(3) Oil level warning
(4) Initial engine overheat warning
(5) Exhaust temperature warning
(6) Check engine warning
