Low coolant temperature indi-
cator light “

” 

The low coolant temperature indicator light
comes on when the coolant temperature is
low and informs the rider that the snowmobile
should be warmed up. After the engine is
started, warm it up until the indicator light
goes off.

The snowmobile can be operated normally af-
ter the indicator light goes off.

TIP

Drive the snowmobile at low speeds when the
low coolant temperature indicator light is on. If
the engine speed is too high, maximum en-
gine speed is reduced to protect the engine.

ESU10433

Fuel meter and grip/thumb 
warmer level indicator 

The fuel meter and grip/thumb warmer level
indicator have eight segments which show
the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank,
the grip warmer level, or the thumb warmer
level.

Fuel meter

The display segments of the fuel meter disap-
pear towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level de-
creases. When only one segment is left near
“E”, the fuel level warning indicator and the
warning light come on.

If the fuel level warning indicator and the
warning light come on, refuel as soon as pos-
sible.
