Auxiliary Outlets

The vehicle is equipped with one or more 12-volt accessory outlets. One outlet is on the dash, a second outlet (if equipped) is in the rear passenger area. Use the outlets to power an auxiliary light or other optional accessories. For service, the dash outlet connection is under the dash. The rear outlet connection is under the rear passenger seats.

Ignition Switch

The ignition switch is a four-position, key-operated switch. Use the ignition switch to start the engine. See Starting the Engine for starting procedures.

Position	Function
OFF	The engine is off. Electrical circuits are off, except accessory 12V.
ACCESSORY	The engine is off. Powers the gauge and terminal block. Check engine and power steering warning indicators will appear on the gauge in this mode but will turn off when the vehicle is started if no issues are present.
ON	Electrical circuits are on. Electrical equipment can be used.
START	Turn the key to the START position to engage the electric starter. The key returns to the ON position when released.

The key can be removed from the switch when it is in the OFF position.

Headlight Switch

Use the headlight switch to turn the lights on and off and to change the lights from high beam to low beam. The ignition switch must be in the ON position to operate the headlights.

Press the top of the rocker switch toward the dash to place the headlights on high beam

. Move the rocker switch to the center position to place the headlights on low beam

. Press the bottom of the rocker switch to turn off the headlights.

If the headlight switch is ON when the ignition switch is turned off, the lights will remain on for approximately 30 seconds.

All Wheel Drive (AWD) Switch

The AWD Switch has two positions:

All Wheel Drive (AWD)

Two Wheel Drive (2WD)

Press the top of the rocker switch to engage All Wheel Drive. Press the bottom of the switch to operate in two wheel drive. See the All Wheel Drive (AWD) System section for AWD operating instructions.

Electronic Power Steering (EPS)

Electronic power steering (if equipped) engages when the ignition key is turned to the ON position. EPS remains engaged whether the vehicle is moving or idle.

The EPS warning indicator briefly illuminates when the key is turned to the ON position. See the Instrument Cluster section for details.

To conserve battery power, the EPS will shut down 5 minutes after the engine is stopped if the key remains in the ON position. The EPS warning indicator will illuminate to indicate the EPS has shut down.

If the light remains on after starting the engine, 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.

Remote Winch Switch (if equipped)

Pull the remote winch switch and cable out from the dash storage area. Press and hold the left side of the switch to spool line out from the winch. Press and hold the right side of the switch to spool line in the winch. Release the switch and it returns to the center “OFF” position to stop spooling.
