CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT
D.E.S.S. (Digitally Encoded Security
System)
The tether cord cap has an integrated
D.E.S.S. key to provide you and your
snowmobile with the equivalent secu-
rity of a conventional lock key.
The D.E.S.S. key contains an electronic
chip which features a unique perma-
nently memorized digital code.
Your authorized Ski-Doo dealer has pro-
gramed the D.E.S.S. of your snowmo-
bile to recognize the D.E.S.S. key in the
tether cord cap to allow vehicle opera-
tion.
If another tether cord is used without
programming the D.E.S.S., the engine
will start but will not reach drive pulley
engagement speed to move vehicle.
Make sure the tether cord cap is free of
dirt or snow.
D.E.S.S. Flexibility
The D.E.S.S. of your snowmobile can
be programmed by your authorized
Ski-Doo dealer to accept up to 8 differ-
ent keys.
We recommend the purchase of ad-
ditional tether cords from your au-
thorized Ski-Doo dealer. If you have
more than one D.E.S.S. equipped
Ski-Doo snowmobile, each can be pro-
grammed by your authorized Ski-Doo
dealer to accept the other vehicles
D.E.S.S. keys.
RF D.E.S.S. Key Types (ACE and
1200 4-TEC)
Two types of keys can be used:
– Normal key
– Learning key.
To ease key type recognition, the key
comes in different colors.
KEY TYPE COLOR
Normal Gray
Learning Green
The Ski-Doo learning key, limits the
speed of the snowmobile and the en-
gine torque, therefore enabling first
time users and less experienced op-
erators to learn how to operate the
snowmobile while gaining the neces-
sary confidence and control.
NOTE: The initial learning key pro-
gramming can limit the speed
to 40 km/h (25 MPH) or 70 km/h
(43 MPH). Refer to your authorized
Ski-Doo dealer to modify this setting.
