! WARNING
Make sure the seats are secure
before driving the vehicle. Serious

Seat Belts
This vehicle is equipped with seat belts
for the operator and the passenger. To
fasten and release the seat belt properly,
use the following procedure.
1. Place the seat belt across your lap as
low as possible without twisting the
belt making sure the shoulder strap is
below the neck and across the chest.
! WARNING
Only appropriate-sized passengers
may ride in this vehicle. Passengers
must be able to place both feet flat on
the floor while keeping their back
against the back of the seat and hold-
ing on to the hand holds.
2. Push the latch-plate into the buckle
slot until it "clicks" and latches
securely. The belt will retract when
the buckle is released.
! WARNING
Falling outside a moving vehicle could
result in serious injury or death.
Always fasten your seat belt securely
and ensure the passenger seat belt is
properly and securely fastened prior to
operating or riding in this vehicle.

Doors

In addition to the seat belts, there are left-
and right-side doors. The doors should
always be properly latched when the
vehicle is moving.
To secure the door, swing the door in
until the latch and mating tab engage
and lock. To release the door, depress
the button in the latch mechanism.

Power Steering

This vehicle was produced with an Elec-
tronic Power Steering (EPS) system to
reduce steering effort and driver fatigue
over a broad range of operating conditions.
The EPS system engages when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON position
and disengages after approximately five
minutes (to conserve battery power) if
the engine is not running.
This system is entirely maintenance-free:
no adjustment or servicing is required.
There are no fluids to check or change, and
the EPS system is entirely self-contained
and sealed to protect it from the elements.
The EPS system is battery system pow-
ered; therefore, the battery must be in
good condition and fully charged. Power
delivery and overload protection is pro-
vided by an EPS relay and 30-amp fuse
located under the passenger seat in the
Power Distribution Module (PDM).
The system is self-monitored and will
display a malfunction code on the LCD
gauge/speedometer should an EPS sys-
tem control circuit problem occur. Do not
operate the vehicle with an EPS malfunc-
tion code displayed.

NOTE: Turn the key switch to the
OFF position then back to the ON
position to reset the malfunction
code. If the code continues to be dis-
played, take your vehicle to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat Dealer for EPS system
servicing before resuming operation.
