OPERATION
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch has three positions.
If equipped with electric start, turn the key to
START to crank the engine. When the key is
released, it automatically returns to the RUN position.
Snowmobiles equipped with electric start and/or IDD are equipped with
a battery. If the key remains in the RUN position after using the engine
stop switch to stop the engine, the IDD remains active. The IDD screen
will turn off after several minutes of inactivity, but the IDD will
continue to draw a small amount of current from the battery until the
key is turned off. This feature is useful for accessing the IDD without
starting the engine, but turn the key off when the IDD is not in use.
The IDD is not dependent on the battery while the engine is running, but
the battery supplies a constant power source when the engine is turned
off or when the engine is transitioning between forward and reverse
operation. If the battery is not installed, the IDD reboots when the
engine is started and when electronic reverse (PERC) is used.
