Controls & Features
This ATV is equipped with an electronically controlled, electric-
power-assisted steering system.
While the engine is running, the EPS (Electric Power Steering) system
provides power from the electric motor, which helps you to turn the
ATV’s handlebar more easily.
The EPS system on this ATV utilizes an overheat protection feature to
prevent damage to system components. In certain extended,
repetitive high-load situations, the system will reduce or even disable
power steering assist. The steering will perform as a normal non-EPS
system during this brief period. After cooling down, it will then
return to normal EPS operation.
The PS indicator should light when the ignition switch is turned on
and remain on until the engine is started.
The PS indicator also lights when there is any abnormality in the EPS
system. If this occurs, the electric power assist for turning will not be
available, but the manual steering system will perform as usual.
If the PS indicator lights at any time while riding, reduce speed and
take your ATV to your dealer as soon as possible. Continuing to ride
with a EPS system problem can cause system damage.
Do not modify your Electric Power Steering system. In case of a
malfunction, take your ATV to your dealer.
