IGNITION SWITCH
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 then pull it out.
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 to OFF after engine has
been stopped.
NOTE: While engine can be stopped
by turning ignition key OFF, we recom-
mend 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.
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 Bombardier ATV dealer.

10) Fuel Tank Cap

The fuel tank cap is located on the right
side of the rear fender.
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

Located on the right footrest. When
pressed down, the rear brake is ap-
plied. When released, the brake ped-
al should return to its original position.
Braking effect is proportional to the
force applied on the pedal and to the
type and condition of the terrain.
NOTE: The brake will have also an ef-
fect on front wheels through the drive
train.
