WARNING
Should the engine be stopped, wa-
tercraft directional control is re-
duced. Always disconnect safety
lanyard when watercraft is not in
operation in order to prevent acci-
dental engine starting or to avoid
unauthorized use by children or
others or theft.
Always ensure safety lanyard is not
left on its post after engine is stopped.
If so, 2 very short beeps every 3 sec-
ond interval will sound for 25 minutes
to remind you to remove it. After-
wards, the beeps will stop.
IMPORTANT: Leaving the safety lan-
yard on its post when engine is not
running will slowly discharge the bat-
tery.
Digitally Encoded Security
System (DESS)
The safety lanyard cap specifically con-
tains an electronic circuit that gives it
a unique electronic serial number. This
is the equivalent of a conventional key.
This safety lanyard cannot be used on
another watercraft and conversely, the
one from another watercraft cannot be
used on your watercraft.
However, the DESS brings a great flex-
ibility. You can buy an additional safety
lanyard and have it programmed for
your watercraft.
To have additional safety lanyard, refer
to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
