Ignition Switch

OFF Vehicle / PIDD power off
RUN Vehicle / PIDD power on
START Activates starter motor (if equipped)

The ignition switch has three positions: OFF, RUN, and START.

If equipped with electric start, turn the key to START to crank the engine. When the key is released, it automatically returns to the RUN position.

NOTE

If the key remains in the RUN position after using the engine stop switch to stop the engine, the PIDD (POLARIS Interactive Digital Display) remains active. The PIDD screen will turn off after several minutes of inactivity, but if a battery is installed, the PIDD will continue to draw a small amount of current from the battery until the key is turned off. This feature is useful for accessing the PIDD without starting the engine, but turn the key off when the PIDD is not in use.

The PIDD is not dependent on a battery while the engine is running, but a battery (if installed) supplies a constant power source when the engine is turned off or when the engine is transitioning between forward and reverse operation. If a battery is not installed, the PIDD reboots when the engine is started and when electronic reverse (PERC) is used.
