WARNING
Do not wash the electronic speedometer with a high pressure washer. Wash the unit by hand or with a garden
hose. High water pressure may allow water to enter the speedometer and cause damage to the electronic
components.
Speedometer
Your Polaris ATV is equipped with a new electronic speedometer which senses vehicle speed from the right hand front
wheel. The electronic speedometer measures distance in miles and kilometers as well as hours of operation. To
display each mode, press the button on the face of the speedometer once to “toggle” through the functions. Each
function will be displayed as shown:
Miles / Kilometers 00000.0
Trip Miles / Kilometers 000.0
Hours 00000.0
To reset Trip Miles / Kilometers:
1. Toggle to Trip Miles / Kilometers.
2. Hold down button approximately 4 seconds.
To change distance measurement from Miles to Kilometers or vice versa:
1. Toggle to odometer.
2. Hold down the button approximately 8 seconds until the word FARIA appears in the display, then release the
button. If the last digit in the display is a “K”, the measurement is Kilometers, if the last digit is an “M”, the
measurement is Miles.
The speedometer also includes a reverse speed limit function that limits the ATVs speed in reverse after approximately7to9mph.
