necessary confidence and control.
Limitations
The ability of a novice to operate the
watercraft can be exceeded even
when a learning key is used.

iBR (intelligent Brake
and Reverse System) (if
equipped)
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
thrust, reverse thrust, braking thrust,
and neutral.:
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.
WARNING
– It is important to inform the
operator of a watercraft who
intends to follow in a convoy
formation, of the braking and
maneuvering capability of your
PWC, what the plume of water
indicates, and that a greater dis-
tance must be maintained be-
tween watercraft.
– Be aware that other boats fol-
lowing or operating in close
proximity may not be able to
stop as quickly.
