FEATURES

RIDER SELECT Adjustable Steering System

WARNING! Attempting to adjust the handlebar position while the snowmobile is 
moving could result in loss of control and serious injury or death. Always stop 
the snowmobile before attempting to adjust the steering system.

1. Stop the snowmobile.

2. Press the release button 

and move the handlebar 
forward or rearward to 
the desired position.

WARNING! Do not lubricate the RIDER SELECT mechanism. Doing so could 
cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. The RIDER SELECT 
mechanism is lubricated for life at the factory.

WARNING! Some aftermarket accessories (including windshields and cargo 
bags) may interfere with the handlebar. Such accessories could limit your ability 
to steer the vehicle and/or may contact the brake lever. This could lead to loss of 
control resulting in serious injury or death. Always be sure that accessories do 
not contact the handlebar or brake lever at any steering position and at any 
RIDER SELECT position.

FEATURES

Engine Management System

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

Illuminated MIL

The MIL (Check Engine Indicator) will illuminate when a problem with 
engine management system components is detected.

1. Turn the engine off and restart it. If the light goes off, continued 

operation is permissible.

2. If the light illuminates again, determine whether engine RPM or 

vehicle speed is limited, then check the charts on page 38 to identify 
the cause. If you are unable to determine the cause of an illuminated 
MIL, please see your POLARIS dealer.

Flashing MIL (Turbo)

The MIL will flash if an error with the turbo boost regulation system is 
detected.

NOTICE: If you are unable to determine and correct the cause of a flashing MIL 

or high temperature indicator, serious engine damage may occur with 
continued operation. See your POLARIS dealer.

1. Verify that all electrical connections are secure.

2. Check battery voltage on the gauge, and install a new battery if volt-

age is low (see page 52). 

3. Verify that engine temperature is within the recommended operating 

range. See the Turbo Boost chart on page 38.

A flashing MIL may also be caused by damaged or disconnected hoses 
between the turbocharger and wastegate solenoid pulse valve (located 
on the engine side of the airbox) or between the wastegate actuator 
(located under the turbocharger) and wastegate solenoid pulse valve. If 
the hose has no damage and is not disconnected, see your dealer imme-
diately.

NOTICE: Serious engine damage may occur if the wastegate reference line is 

removed or modified. DO NOT remove or modify the wastegate 
reference line.
