HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR SNOWMOBILE
Serial numbers
The main components of your snowmobile (engine and frame) are identified by different
serial numbers. It may sometimes become necessary to locate these numbers for warranty
purposes or to trace your snowmobile in the event of loss.
These numbers are required by the Lynx dealers to complete warranty claims properly. No
warranty will be allowed by Bombardier if the engine serial number or VIN is removed or
mutilated in any way. We strongly recommend that you take all the serial numbers on your
snowmobile and supply them to your insurance company.

Liquid-Cooled Models
Before using the reverse system, first select the altitude mode that changes engine timing
curve.
To do so, push and hold START/RER button with engine running. After 2 seconds, one beep
is heard meaning that the low altitude mode is can be selected. Releasing START/RER button
just after hearing that one beep will select the low altitude mode. The reverse system is now
ready to operate in high altitude regions. Shifting in reverse is achieved as described above in
Shifting in Reverse.
To select high altitude mode, push and hold START/RER button until 2 beeps are heard.
Release button within one second. The reverse system is now ready to operate in hig (n)
altitudes. Shifting in reverse is achieved as described above in Shifting in Reverse.
As long as the START/RER button is pushed and held the RER system switches from one
mode to the other. One beep then 2 beeps the one beep then 2 beeps and so on are heard with
one second interval. The mode to be selected corresponds to the last beep code heard.
The selected altitude mode is kept in memory until a new one is chosen — whether the
engine is stopped or not.
DPM Liquid-Cooled Models
ENGLISH
These vehicles are equipped with a Digital Performance Management (DPM) system. This
system takes care of the altitude mode required by the RER.

started.
When the engine is running, depressing the START/RER button will command the engine to
reverse crankshaft rotation as driving the snowmobile is in reverse is achieved by changing
the direction of rotation of the engine, not by shifting the chain case in reverse gear.
When depressing the START/RER button, the MPEM will practically slow down the engine
RPM to a stop and advance the ignition timing to cause crankshaft rotation reversing.
Engine will automatically shift into forward when starting after stopping or stalling.
Shifting procedure will take place only when the engine is running.
If engine is running at a speed above 3800 RPM, the reverse function of the START/RER
button is cancelled.
It is recommended to warm up the engine to its normal operating temperature before shifting.
Start Mode
ENGLISH
To start engine, push START/RER button and hold until engine has started.
NOTE! Do not hold START/RER button more than 10 seconds. A rest period should be
observed between the cranking cycles to let starter cool down. Holding START/RER
button when engine has started could damage starter mechanism.

functions. It shuts off engine preventing snowmobile to runaway if the operator falls off the
vehicle accidently.
TM
Through the D.E.S.S.
(Digitally Encoded Security System), it acts as a lock by preventing
unauthorized use of your snowmobile thus deterring theft.
Finally, it prevents unintentional electric starter operation in vehicles so equipped by disabling the electric starter and ignition circuits in the MPEM or ECU.
DESS (Digitally Encoded Security System) Description
This system is digitally encoded to provide you and your snowmobile with the equivalent
security as a conventional lock key.
The tether cord cap provided with your snowmobile contains an electronic chip in which a
17
ENGLISH
unique digital code is permanently memorized. You authorized Lynx dealer programs this key
code in the MPEM or ECU of your snowmobile to allow engine operation above 3000 RPM if
and only if this unique code has been read after engine starting.
If a tether cord cap with different code is installed, the engine will start but cannot reach drive
pulley engagement speed to move vehicle.
Additional Tether Cord Caps
The MPEM/ECU of your snowmobile can be programmed by your authorized Lynx dealer to
accept 8 different key codes (tether cord caps).
DESS Pilot Lamp Codes
DESS pilot lamp blinking slowly (one time per 1,5 second) means that a bad connection has
been detected. Vehicle can not be driven.
To check for bad connection, remove tether cord cap. Make sure the tether cord cap is free of
dirt or snow. Reinstall cap and restart engine. If a blink still occurs, contact an authorized
dealer.
1.Free of dirt and snow
A DESS pilot lamp blinking 3 times per second means that you have installed a cap with a
ENGLISH
code that MPEM of this snowmobile was not programmed to recognize (wrong key). Vehicle
can not be driven.
10. DESS pilot lamp
This lamp will light up to confirm DESS status. Refer to previous paragraphs for description.
11. Engine cut-out switch
