2. To lower the cargo box, use the box
handle to push down firmly on the
front of the box. The box will automat-
ically lock into position and an audible
“click” will be heard.
Power Steering (700)
This vehicle was produced with an Elec-
tronic Power Steering (EPS) system to
reduce steering effort and driver fatigue
over a broad range of operating conditions.
The EPS system engages when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON position
and disengages after approximately five
minutes (to conserve battery power) if
the engine is not running.
This system is entirely maintenance-free:
no adjustment or servicing is required.
There are no fluids to check or change, and
the EPS system is entirely self-contained
and sealed to protect it from the elements.
The EPS system is battery system pow-
ered; therefore, the battery must be in
good condition and fully charged. Power
delivery and overload protection is pro-
vided by an EPS relay and 30-amp fuse
located under the seat in the Power Dis-
tribution Module (PDM).
The system is self-monitored and will
display a “P0635” malfunction code on
the LCD gauge should an EPS system
control circuit problem occur. Do not
operate the vehicle with a “P0635” mal-
function code displayed.

NOTE: Turn the key switch to the
OFF position then back to the ON
position to reset the malfunction
code. If the code continues to be
displayed, take your vehicle to an
authorized Arctic Cat Dealer for
EPS system servicing before
resuming operation.
In the event of electrical power failure,
the EPS system becomes disabled (simi-
lar to an automobile with the engine shut
off). Steering effort increases but steering
control can be maintained.
Speedometer/LCD
EFI011B
1. Speedometer/Tachometer/Condition
Warning Display - Indicates the
approximate vehicle speed (MPH or
km/h) or RPM. Warns of a system
error condition requiring attention.
The LCD will go blank except the
word VOLT will flash on the LCD
whenever a low voltage (<9 DC volts)
or a high voltage (>16 DC volts) is
detected. When voltage returns to nor-
mal, the gauge must be reset by turning
the ignition key to the OFF position
and then to the ON position.
A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will
flash on the LCD whenever an EFI
system error is detected. After 30 sec-
onds, the gauge will return to normal,
but the code will continue to flash
until the malfunction is corrected.

NOTE: Take the ATV to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat ATV dealer to have
the error corrected and the system
error reset as soon as possible.
2. Fuel Level Indicator - Indicates
approximate amount of gasoline in
the gas tank.
CAUTION
Never operate this vehicle with a
“P0635” code indicated on the LCD
gauge. This indicates a malfunction in
the EPS system control circuit and
could result in a loss of power steer-
ing assist.
