Limited-Speed Operation
The SEA-DOO Learning Key

can be
programmed in two different configu-

tercraft, therefore enabling first time
users and less experienced operators
to learn how to operate the water-
craft while gaining the necessary con-
fidence and control.
See an authorized Sea-Doo dealer to
have your SEA-DOO Learning Key
TM
programmed accordingly.
