Traction Control System - Yamaha XMAX 300 Owner's Manual

Instrument and control functions
TIP
 The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the main switch is
turned to "ON" and the vehicle has
traveled at a speed of 10 km/h (6
mi/h) or higher. During this test, a
"clicking" noise can be heard from
the front of the vehicle, and if ei-
5
ther brake lever is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever, but these do not indicate a
malfunction.
 This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating. How-
ever, special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er.
NOTICE
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

Traction control system

The traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when acceler-
ating on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
2
that the rear wheel is starting to slip
(uncontrolled spinning), the traction
control system assists by regulating
engine power until traction is restored.
When traction control has engaged,
the " " indicator light will flash. You
may notice changes in engine re-
sponse or exhaust sound.

WARNING
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
2
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution and avoid especially slip-
pery surfaces.
