Indicator Lamps 

Indicator lamps diagram

NumberIndicator Lamp NameFunction
1Check EngineThis lamp illuminates when the ECM detects a Diagnostic Trouble Code in the engine management system. Do not operate the vehicle if this warning appears. Serious engine damage could result. Your authorized Polaris Dealer can assist. This lamp will also illuminate if the vehicle is keyed on but not started; it will turn off once the vehicle is started.
2EPS Warning (if equipped)This lamp illuminates to indicate that EPS has shut down. EPS shuts down automatically 5 minutes after the engine is turned off if the key remains in the ON position. Turn the key off and on to reset the unit. If the light remains on after starting the engine, the EPS system is inoperative. Your Polaris Dealer can assist.
3Engine HotThis lamp illuminates to indicate an overheated engine. If the indicator flashes, a severe overheating condition exists and the engine will shut down automatically. The vehicle will not start again until the engine has sufficiently cooled down. Whenever this lamp illuminates, the engine load should be reduced in any way possible to avoid overheating and shutting down the engine. 
4Low Oil PressureThis lamp illuminates if engine oil pressure drops below safe operating pressure. If this lamp illuminates while the engine is running, turn the engine off as soon as safely possible and check the oil level. If the oil level is correct and the lamp remains on after the engine is restarted, turn the engine off immediately. 
5Seat BeltThis lamp flashes for several seconds when the key is turned to the ON position. The lamp will keep flashing as long as riders’ seat belts are not connected.
6High BeamThis lamp illuminates when the headlamp switch is set to high beam.
7Park Brake IndicatorIndicates the parking brake is active.

(if equipped)
This vehicle may be equipped with a maximum speed limitation function. This would be displayed on the screen as “LIM” followed by the speed. “LIM 30” for example.
  • The rider information center is in the instrument cluster. All segments will light up for one second at start-up.  
  • If the instrument cluster fails to illuminate, a battery over-voltage may have occurred and the instrument cluster may have shut off to protect the electronic speedometer. If this occurs, your Polaris Dealer or other qualified person can provide proper diagnosis.  
  • The information center is set to display standard units of measurement and a 12-hour clock at the factory. To change to metric and/or a 24-hour clock, hold the MODE button and cycle to the clock menu. Use the directional arrows to change the clock settings.
