ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS)
Electronic power steering (if equipped) engages when the ignition key is turned
to the ON position. EPS remains engaged whether the vehicle is moving or idle.
To conserve battery power, the EPS will shut down 5 minutes after the engine is
stopped if the key remains in the ON position. The EPS warning indicator will
illuminate to indicate the EPS has shut down. Turn the key off and on to reset
the unit. If the light remains on after starting the engine, the EPS system is
inoperative. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.
