DRIVING AID TECHNOLOGIES
Use only BRP recommended tires,
which can be ordered only from an au-
thorized Can-Am On-Road dealer.
Proper tire inflation pressure and tread
condition are important for maintaining
traction, especially on loose or wet sur-
faces.
Hard Turns
The VSS does not control or limit steer-
ing input — it cannot keep you from
turning too sharply. Large and rapid
steering handlebar movements can
cause the vehicle to go out of control,
spin, tip or roll over.
Excess Speed
The VSS does not control the vehicle
speed, except when SCS intervenes
during a turn. VSS does not prevent
the vehicle from entering a turn too
fast. If you drive too fast for condi-
tions, you can lose control, even with
VSS.
Excess Weight
Never load vehicle above specified val-
ues.
TOTAL VEHICLE LOAD ALLOWED
224 kg (494 lb)
Dynamic Power Steering
(DPS)
The DPS (Dynamic Power Steering)
provides a computer controlled, vari-
able power assist, achieved by an elec-
tric motor to optimize the amount of
steering effort required by the rider.
The steering assist level is dependent
of the handlebar effort, the steering an-
gle and the vehicle speed.
When vehicle is in the reverse gear,
power steering assist will decrease as
vehicle speed increases.
