Maintenance is very important to keep your vehicle in safe operating condition.
The vehicle should be serviced as per the maintenance schedule.
Proper maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. A warranty claim may be de-
nied if, among other things, the owner or operator caused the problem through
improper maintenance or use.
Perform periodic checks and follow the maintenance schedule. T Th he e m ma aiin ntte e--

Verifying fault codes, as first maintenance step, is a good practice and is highly
recommended.

components or service by BRP or authorized Can-Am Off-road dealers.
Although an authorized Can-Am Off-road dealer has an in-depth technical knowl-
edge and tools to service your vehicle, the emission-related warranty is not con-
ditioned on the use of an authorized Can-Am Off-road dealer or any other
establishment with which BRP has a commercial relationship.
Proper maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. A warranty claim may be de-
nied if, among other things, the owner or operator caused the problem through
improper maintenance or use.
For emission-related warranty claims, BRP is limiting the diagnosis and repair of
emission-related parts to the authorized Can-Am Off-road dealers. For more in-
formation, please refer to the
US EPA Emission-Related Warranty contained in
the Warranty section.
You must follow the instructions for fuel requirements in the fueling section of this
manual. Even if gasoline containing greater than ten volume percent ethanol is
readily available, the US EPA issued a prohibition against the use of gasoline
containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol that applies to this vehicle. The use of
gasoline containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol with this engine may harm the
emission control system.

Air filter maintenance should be adjusted according to riding conditions.
