TYPICAL
D.E.S.S. (Digitally Encoded Security System)
This system is a deterrent against theft. Dealer programmed, the
tether cord provided with your snowmobile is the only one that al-
lows engine to turn more than 2500 RPM. If a wrong tether cord is
installed the engine can not reach engagement speed required to
move vehicle.
The snowmobile micro-processor can be programmed to allow the
use up to 8 tether cords. For your convenience, we recommend the
purchase of additional safety lanyards from your authorized dealer. It
will prove to be useful in case of loss as well as for additional opera-
tors.
After engine is started 2 beeps confirm that the micro-processor has
recognized the tether cord. The vehicle can be normally driven.
A beep per 3 seconds and D.E.S.S. pilot lamp blinking as same rate
mean that a bad connection has been detected. Vehicle can not be
driven.
To check for bad connection, remove tether cord make sure it is free
of dirt or snow. Reinstall tether cord and restart engine. If a beep per
3 seconds still occurs contact an authorized dealer.
A continuous beep and D.E.S.S. pilot lamp blinking rapidly mean that
a wrong tether cord is installed. Vehicle can not be driven.
Check that you have both good vehicle and tether cord.
