IGNITION SWITCH POSITIONS
1. OFF
2. ON "with light"
3. ON "without light"
Insert key in switch and turn to the
desired position. To remove key, turn
key to OFF position then pull it out.
NOTE: When turning the key to OFF
position and removing the key, the ve-
hicle electrical system will take a few
seconds to shut down.
The ON with lights position, turns on
all lights with either the engine run-
ning or not. Remember that having
the lights on without the engine run-
ning discharges the battery. Always
turn ignition key to OFF position after
engine has been stopped.
NOTE: While engine can be stopped
by turning ignition key to OFF posi-
tion, we recommend the engine be
stopped by the engine stop switch.
Digitally Encoded Security
System (DESS™)
The ignition key specifically contains
an electronic circuit that gives it a
unique electronic serial number.
This ignition key cannot be used on an-
other vehicle and conversely, the one
from another vehicle cannot be used
on your vehicle except if it was pro-
grammed this way.

However, the DESS brings a great flex-
ibility. You can buy an additional igni-
tion key and have it programmed for
your vehicle.
To have additional ignition key, refer to
an authorized Can-Am dealer.

10) Fuel Tank Cap

CAUTION: Never place anything
over fuel tank cap because the vent
hole on the top of fuel tank cap can
be blocked and the engine could
misfire.
Unscrew counterclockwise and re-
move cap to allow fuel tank filling then
fully tighten clockwise.
WARNING
Always stop engine before re-
fueling. Open cap slowly. If a
differential pressure condition is
noticed (whistling sound heard
when loosening fuel tank cap)
have vehicle inspected and/or re-
paired before further operation.
Fuel is flammable and explosive
under certain conditions. Never
use an open flame to check fuel
level. Never smoke or allow flame
or spark in vicinity. Always work
in a well-ventilated area. Never
top up the fuel tank before plac-
ing the vehicle in a warm area.
As temperature increases, fuel ex-
pands and may overflow. Always
wipe off any fuel spillage from the
vehicle.

11) Brake Pedal

When pressed down, the rear brake
is applied. When released, the brake
pedal should return to its original posi-
tion. Braking effect is proportional to
the force applied on the pedal and to
the type and condition of the terrain.
