Cruise assist (VX Deluxe /
VX Cruiser / VX Limited)
The cruise assist is a function for maintaining
a desired engine speed within a fixed range
while operating the watercraft.
TIP:
The cruise assist can only be set between
engine speeds of approximately 4000
r/min and approximately 7000 r/min.
The cruise assist cannot be activated in the
Low RPM Mode. (See page 33 for Low
RPM Mode activation procedures.)
Activating and deactivating the cruise as-
sist
Activation of the cruise assist will be con-
firmed by the number of beeps when the
“SET” switch, cruise assist up switch, or
cruise assist down switch is pushed, and by
the digital speedometer display of the multi-
function information center. (See page 38 for
information on the multifunction information
center.)
TIP:
The beeps and the blinking digital speedom-
eter display also indicate the activation of the
no-wake mode. (See page 34 for information
on the no-wake mode.)
To activate the cruise assist:
(1) Operate the throttle lever until the de-
sired engine speed is reached.
(2) When the engine speed reaches the de-
sired cruise assist setting, push the
“SET” switch. Once the beeper sounds
three times quickly and the digital speed-
ometer display starts blinking, the cruise
assist is activated. When the cruise as-
sist is activated, slowly squeeze the
throttle lever to keep it squeezed further
than the position at which the cruise as-
sist was set; releasing the throttle lever
will deactivate the cruise assist.
TIP:
The digital speedometer display blinks con-
tinually while the cruise assist is activated.
Make sure that the beeper has sounded and
the digital speedometer display is blinking
before squeezing the throttle lever to the full
throttle position. If the speedometer display is
not blinking, the cruise assist is not activated
