ACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (iTC) (900 ACE AND 1200
4-TEC)
Introduction
NOTE: Some functions or features de-
scribed in this section may not apply to
every model, or may be available as an
option.
The throttle is electronic and provides a
command signal to an electronic mod-
ule whose function is to assure proper
operation of its system within set pa-
rameters.
It is extremely important for opera-
tors to read all information contained
in this operator's guide so as to be-
come familiar with this snowmobile,
its systems, controls, capabilities and
limitations.
iTC (intelligent Throttle
Control)
The system uses an electronic throttle
control (ETC) that provides command
signals to the ECM (Engine Control
Module). With this system, there is no
need for a traditional throttle cable.
The iTC allows the following operating
modes:
– ECO mode
– Standard mode
– Sport mode.
ECO Mode
When ECO mode is selected (fuel
economy mode), vehicle torque and
speed are limited whereby an optimal
cruising speed is maintained in order
to reduce fuel consumption.
Refer to
OPERATING MODES
subsec-
tion for detailed instructions.
Standard Mode
In standard mode, acceleration is re-
duced when accelerating from a com-
plete stop and when operating in the
low vehicle speed range under certain
conditions.
Sport Mode
In sport mode, maximum engine
power is available throughout the en-
gine operational range.
Refer to
OPERATING MODES
subsec-
tion for detailed instructions.
Learning Key Modes
The Ski-Doo TM learning key limits the
torque and speed of the snowmobile
therefore enabling first time users and
less experienced operators to learn
how to operate the snowmobile while
gaining the necessary confidence and
control.
Limitations
The ability of a novice to operate the
snowmobile can be exceeded even
when a learning key is used.
Refer to
OPERATING MODES
subsec-
tion for details.
