Keys - Can-Am 219 002 095 Operator's Manual

WARNING
Always use the PARK (P) position
when the vehicle is not in oper-
ation. The vehicle can roll if the
shift lever is set to N (NEUTRAL).
High Range (Forward)
This position selects the high speed
range of the gearbox. It is the normal
driving speed range. It allows the vehi-
cle to reach its maximum speed.
Low Range (Forward)
This position selects the low speed
range of the gearbox. It allows the ve-
hicle to move slowly with maximum
torque at the wheels.
NOTICE
Use the low speed range
to pull a trailer, carry heavy cargo,
go over obstacles or drive uphill and
downhill.

6) Keys

D.E.S.S. Key
Digitally Encoded Security
System (D.E.S.S.)
The ignition keys contain an electronic
circuit that gives it a unique electronic
serial number.
The D.E.S.S. system reads the key
code and allows engine starting for
keys it recognizes.
This vehicle can be operated using 2
different types of key programming:
– Normal
– Performance
Refer to your dealer for complete infor-
mation.
The vehicle is delivered with 1 perfor-
mance key.
NOTE: Additional keys are available
from your dealer as an accessory.
Rollovers, tipovers, collisions and
loss of control resulting in seri-
ous injury or death are possible
with the performance or normal
key. Using the normal key is not a
substitute for the operator being
prepared, qualified, and operating
with care.
Performance Key
The performance key allows the user
to access the full torque of the engine
as well as the top speed of the vehicle.
This may be useful for riders who pre-
fer crisper throttle response, and for
environments where higher speeds
and greater acceleration are appro-
priate. For example, in wide-open
straight trails, operators may prefer
the performance key.
Normal Key
The normal key limits the vehicle rate
of acceleration and/or the vehicle
speed to 70 km/h (43 MPH).
On steep downhills, the engine
speed limiter may not prevent the
vehicle from accelerating beyond
this speed.
This key may be useful for riders who
prefer more gradual acceleration, or
for riding in environments where full
speed and high acceleration are not
desirable. For example, in narrow,
winding trails, operators may prefer
a normal key.
D.E.S.S. Flexibility
The D.E.S.S. of your vehicle can be pro-
grammed by your authorized Can-Am
dealer to accept up to 8 different keys.
