Lamp Indicates Condition
Image
 Vehicle Speed When standard mode is selected, speed displays in miles per hour.

 When metric mode is selected, speed displays in kilometers per hour.
Image
 Over Temperature This lamp illuminates to indicate an overheated engine. If the indicator flashes, the overheating condition remains, and the system will automatically reduce engine power.
Image
 Electric Power Steering (EPS) Warning (if equipped) This indicator illuminates briefly when the key is turned to the ON position. If the light remains on, the EPS system is inoperative. See your POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, as soon as possible for repair. Continued operation could result in permanent damage to the EPS unit and increased steering effort.

 Helmet/Seat Belt This lamp is a reminder to the operator to ensure all riders are wearing helmets and seat belts before operating. The driver’s seat belt is equipped with a seat belt interlock. Vehicle speed will be limited to 15 MPH (24 km/h) if the seat belt is not secured.
Image
 Check Engine This indicator appears if an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) related fault occurs. Do not operate the vehicle if this warning appears. Serious engine damage could result. Your authorized dealer or qualified person can assist.

It may also occur when the engine is at idle and high electrical load (lights, cooling fan, accessories) is applied. Drive at a higher RPM or recharge the battery to clear the warning.
