Can-Am 2018 Defender Series, Operator'S Manual

Page: 55 / 187

SECONDARY CONTROLS
This key may be useful for riders who
prefer more gradual acceleration, or
for riding in environments where full
speed and high acceleration are not
desirable. For example, in narrow,
winding trails, operators may prefer
the normal key.
Optional D.E.S.S. Work Key
A work key is also available at your
dealership.
The work key allows for usage of 100%
of maximum engine torque but limits
vehicle speed to 40 km/h (25 MPH).
WARNING
On steep downhills, the engine
speed limiter may not prevent the
vehicle from accelerating beyond
this speed.
This may be useful for riders who use
this vehicle in a workplace environ-
ment where lower speeds and accel-
eration are a requirement.
2) Headlight Dimmer

The headlight dimmer switch is lo-
cated on the upper console.
