When stopped or parked always bring
shift lever to park position. This is es-
pecially important when parking on a
slope. On very steep inclines or if the
vehicle is carrying a cargo, the wheels
should be blocked using rocks or
bricks.
Select the flattest terrain available for
parking.
Release accelerator pedal and use
brakes to completely stop the vehicle.
Set shift lever in PARK position.
Press the start / stop button to stop
the engine.
Remove D.E.S.S key from its post.
If you must park on a steep incline or if
the vehicle is carrying cargo, block the
wheels using rocks or bricks.
Before stopping the engine and park-
ing the vehicle following a more in-
tense ride, let vehicle run idle for a
period of 20 to 30 seconds to allow for
cooling of the turbo system.

Riding style and conditions have a di-
rect impact on drive belt durability.
Your vehicle features a CVT system
design that is optimized to offer the
best performance. The CVT and drive
belt have successfully endured thou-
sands of miles of durability tests. How-
ever, to maximize drive belt durability
and to prevent premature failures, it is
important that the operator under-
stands the limits of a belt driven CVT
system and adapts their riding style
and speed accordingly.
If riding in any of the conditions listed
below, BRP highly recommends not to
constantly hold the throttle wide open
(WOT) for more than five (5) minutes.
– High ambient temperatures (above
30 °C86 °F
– Heavy loads: Passengers / Heavy
cargo
– Heavy drag: Soft sand / Hill climb-
ing / Mud / Using a track kit.
After a few minutes at WOT, partially
release the accelerator and allow the
CVT to cool down.

belt durability, refer to Choosing the
Correct Range (Low or High) .
