RIDER COMFORT
Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and exhaust system can elevate temperatures in the driver and passenger cab area. The condition occurs most frequently when a vehicle is being operated in high ambient temperatures at low speeds and/or high load conditions for an extended period of time. The use of certain windshield, roof and/or cab systems may contribute to this condition by restricting airflow. Any discomfort due to heat buildup in this area can be minimized by wearing proper riding apparel and by varying speeds to increase airflow.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS
SUSPENSION MODE SWITCH (IF EQUIPPED)
The RZR XP Turbo S and RZR XP 4 Turbo S are equipped with a suspension control mode switch that allows you to change the suspension control mode of your DYNAMIX™ Active Suspension system on-the-fly. (The Turbo S Velocity is not equipped with the DYNAMIX™ Active Suspension system.) There are 3 available suspension modes to select from: Firm, Sport, and Comfort.
WARNING
The rider should use caution to select the appropriate suspension mode to
match the current terrain conditions and driving style. Failure to select an
appropriate suspension mode could lead to vehicle dynamic behaviors not
The system will prevent mode transitions from a more firm operating mode to a
more soft operating mode when a current active vehicle state is present
matched to the terrain or driver’s skill level.
NOTICE
(cornering, braking, accelerating, or airborne).
In Firm Mode, the suspension reverts to its most firm compression damping setting. This mode is recommended for challenging terrain where large suspension events and complex terrain is encountered. In this mode, all 4 shocks are at the most firm setting.
In Sport Mode, some level of rider comfort is traded for higher performance levels and reduced body motion. Damping ramps up more aggressively as a function of vehicle speed. This mode is recommended for spirited driving where additional suspension system performance is required. All semi-active features are enabled in this mode.
In Comfort mode, the suspension control system is optimized for rider comfort, intervening in performance situations where required. The system will gradually increase the base value of damping as vehicle speed increases. Cornering, braking, acceleration, and airborne detection algorithms are fully active.

OPERATION
WARNING
Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control,
accident or rollover, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and
understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s
VEHICLE BREAK-IN PERIOD
The break-in period for your new POLARIS vehicle is the first 25 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of gasoline. Clutch and drive belt break-in periods vary depending on operating conditions.
No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components. Perform the following procedures carefully.
Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage
close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle
or high speeds during the first three hours of use.
Use of any improper oils may cause serious engine damage. POLARIS
Premium 4 Synthetic Oil is specifically formulated for your 4-cycle engine
manual.
NOTICE

Page 82
OPERATION
ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN BREAK-IN
1. Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel. See the Refueling section for details. Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
2. Check the oil level. See the Oil Check section for details. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the safe operating range.
3. Complete the steps in the New Operator Driving Procedures section.
4. Avoid aggressive use of the brakes.
5. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
6. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist.
7. Carry only light loads.
8. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours or one month.
9. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.
BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and rotors.
PVT BREAK-IN (CLUTCHES / BELT)
A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and better performance. If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the duct and from the engine compartment.
STANDARD BREAK-IN
Drive at slower speeds for the first 50 miles (80 km) of operation. Carry only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration, high-speed operation and prolonged operation at a specific RPM during this period.
SAND / DUNE BREAK-IN
Drive in low gear for the first 5 miles (8 km) of operation. Avoid prolonged low speed operation at high throttle. Avoid aggressive acceleration, high-speed operation and prolonged operation at a specific RPM during this period.
