Polaris Snowmobile Security System (P.A.S.S.)

Polaris snowmobiles equipped with digital gauges, the 7S display and the Polaris Interactive Digital Display (PIDD) feature security functions that can be activated by an authorized Polaris Dealer. With this feature activated, you can lock the ignition, preventing unauthorized use when you leave your snowmobile unattended. The locked system will limit engine speed to 3,000 RPM. This prevents clutch engagement, and the snowmobile will not move when throttle is applied.

Have the security system activated by an authorized Polaris Dealer

The factory default security code is 000. Change the default security code to one of your own choosing.

Pin Activated Security System for Models Equipped with 7S

The Pin Activated Security System (PASS) must be activated using Polaris Digital Wrench. See your dealer for setup and activation. PASS allows you to safely lock and unlock your vehicle from the display powered by RIDE COMMAND.

3. Select PASSCODE UNLOCK.

4. Select change PIN.

5. Proceed to creating a new PIN.

6. Once created, re-enter and verify your new PIN. If this is your first time activating PASS, the default code is 0-0-0-0. Please consult your dealer if you have any issues.

7. After activating PASS for the first time, turn off the snowmobile and allow the ECM to fully shut down before restarting. This may take up to 3 minutes.

8. Once the snowmobile has been restarted, open the settings menu and press the LOCK VEHICLE button to enable security.

9. The next time the snowmobile is started, a red prompt bar will appear at the top of the screen. Select this to enter your PIN.

10. Enter the PIN to operate the snowmobile. If you have forgotten your PIN, contact your dealer to unlock your snowmobile.

11. The lock function must be engaged each time before shutdown to activate the security function.

To disable P.A.S.S.:

1. Go to the SETTINGS menu by pressing the Polaris button.

2. Select VEHICLE SETTINGS from the left toolbar.

3. Select PASSCODE UNLOCK.

4. Enter your PIN code to disable P.A.S.S.
