Ibr (Intelligent Brake And Reverse System) - Sea-doo SAR 2018 Series Operator's Manual

As you proceed under a constant cruis-
ing speed setting, hold the throttle
lever fully depressed in order to keep
your full attention to maintaining good
situational awareness.
OPERATING MODES
Refer to
tion for detailed instructions.
Slow Speed Mode
Slow speed mode is a function
of cruise mode which allows the
operator to adjust and set idle
speed corresponding to a water-
craft speed of 1.6 km/h to 11 km/h
(1 MPH to 7 MPH). The throttle lever
should not be depressed while operat-
ing in slow speed mode.
OPERATING MODES
Refer to
tion for detailed instructions.
TM
O.T.A.S. System
(Off-Throttle Assisted Steering)
The O.T.A.S. (Off-Throttle Assisted
Steering) system provides additional
maneuverability in off-throttle situa-
tions.
The O.T.A.S. system is electronically
activated when the operator initiates a
full turn and releases the throttle at the
same time.
Limitations
The O.T.A.S. system cannot help you
maintain control or prevent collisions
in all situations.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to
subsection for details.
iBR (intelligent Brake and
Reverse System)
This watercraft uses an electronically
controlled braking and reverse system
called the iBR system (intelligent Brake
and Reverse).
The iBR module controls the position
of the iBR gate to provide:
– Forward
– Reverse

SAFETY INFORMATION
ACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (iCONTROL)
– Neutral
– Braking.
The operator commands the position
of the iBR gate using either the throttle
lever for forward position, or the iBR
lever for neutral, reverse, and for the
braking function.
NOTE: The iBR lever can only be used
to command a change in the gate posi-
tion if the engine is running.
Using the iBR system significantly re-
duces the stopping distance of this
watercraft and can increase its maneu-
verability as it can be used in a straight
line, in a turn, at high or low speeds, or
to propel the watercraft in reverse for
docking or maneuvering in very close
quarters.
Under ideal conditions, experienced
operators were consistently able to
reduce the stopping distance of a wa-
tercraft equipped with an iBR system
by approximately 33%, from an initial
speed of 80 km/h (50 MPH).
Limitations
Even when equipped with an iBR sys-
tem, watercraft do not have the ability
of land based vehicles.
Stopping distance will vary notably de-
pending on initial speed, load, wind,
current, water conditions and the
amount of braking.
The iBR system has no effect on the
rearward motion.
It cannot prevent your watercraft from
drifting in current or wind.
