Some Polaris ATV models come with a Bluetooth®-equipped gauge on the instrument cluster. On some 2021 and newer models, you can use Ride Control features like geofencing and speed limiting through the Polaris App.
If your gauge is equipped with Bluetooth®, the Bluetooth® icon will briefly display in the upper-right corner of the gauge at startup.
Before setting up your geofence or speed limiter functions for your Polaris vehicle, be sure to download the Polaris App. The app is available for iPhone® and iPad® and on Google Play®.
Be sure that the vehicle you wish to modify is entered into your RIDE COMMAND account and can be accessed in your vehicle fleet.
