DESS (Digitally Encoded
Security System) Key/Cut-Out
Switch
On these models, the tether cord cap
(DESS key) is digitally encoded to pro-
vide you and your snowmobile with
the equivalent security of a conven-
tional lock key and it shuts off the en-
gine preventing snowmobile to run-
away if the operator falls off the vehi-
cle accidently.
The DESS key provided with your
snowmobile contains an electronic
chip which features a unique perma-
nently memorized digital code. Your
authorized SKI-DOO dealer programs
this key in the ECM (Engine Control
Module) of your snowmobile to allow
engine operation above 3000 RPM if
and only if this unique code has been
read after engine starting.
If another DESS key is installed, the
engine will start but will not reach drive
pulley engagement speed to move ve-
hicle.
Make sure the DESS key is free of dirt
or snow.

dealer to accept the other vehicles
