tion.
D.E.S.S. (Digitally Encoded Security
System)
All Models Except 550F
D.E.S.S. stands for Digitally Encoded
Security System.
The tether cord cap contains an elec-
tronic chip which features a unique
permanently 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.
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.
