Mode/Reverse Override Switch (1) - This vehicle is equipped with a
reverse speed limiter system. To gain additional power while backing,

also used to toggle through the different modes of the rider
information center. See page 45.
Engine Stop Switch (2) - The engine will

the stop switch to the center RUN position and turn the main key
switch clockwise past the ON position. Release the key when the
