When first turning switch to
ON (either position), all indicator lights
will turn on for a brief moment. This
validates their operation. Thereafter,
only the lights that are activated will
remain on.
NOTE:
Temperature light stay on un-
til the engine runs.
If all lights flash, it indicates a particu-
lar malfunction of the transmission or
the electrical system. See an autho-
rized Bombardier ATV dealer as soon
as possible.

1. Gear position display
If all lights flash while shifting gear,
it indicates the shifting is not com-
pleted yet. Simply wait until the shift-
ing completes or retry the shift with
the gear shift button.
If all lights flash continuously, it in-
dicates a damaged sensor (gearbox).
Although the vehicle can still be op-
erated in this condition, downshifting
may increase engine “braking”. Drive
slowly. See an authorized Bombardier
ATV dealer as soon as possible.

electronic speedometer. It indicates
the speed of the vehicle either in MPH
and km/h.
