D.E.S.S. (Digitally Encoded Security
System)
600 ACE and 600 HO E-TEC Models
After engine starting, 2 short beeps
should be heard if a programmed
D.E.S.S. key (tether cord cap) is cor-
rectly snapped on engine cut-off
switch. If another beep code is heard,
refer to
MONITORING SYSTEM
for
D.E.S.S. malfunction codes informa-
tion.
The tether cord cap has an integrated
D.E.S.S. key to provide you and your
snowmobile with the equivalent secu-
rity of a conventional lock key.
The D.E.S.S. key contains an electronic
chip which features a unique perma-
nently memorized digital code.
Your authorized Ski-Doo dealer has pro-
gramed the D.E.S.S. of your snowmo-
bile to recognize the D.E.S.S. key in the
tether cord cap to allow vehicle opera-
tion.
If another tether cord is used without
programming the D.E.S.S., the engine
will start but will not reach drive pulley
engagement speed to move vehicle.
Make sure the tether cord cap is free of
dirt or snow.
