ACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (iTC) (900 ACE AND 1200
4-TEC)
Introduction
NOTE: Some fu nctions or features de-
scribed in this section may not apply to
every model, or may be available as an
option.
The throttle is electronic and provides a
command signal to an electronic mod-
ule whose function is to assure proper
operation of its system within set pa-
rameters.
It is extremely important for opera-
tors to read all information contained
in this operator's guide so as to be-
come familiar with this snowmobile,
its system s, controls , ca pabilities and
limitations.
iTC (intelligent Throttle
Control)
The system uses an electronic throttle
control (ETC) that provides command
signals to the ECM (Engine Control
Module). With this system, there is no
need for a traditional throttle cable.
The iTC allows th e following operating
modes:
–ECOmode
– Standard mode
– Sport mode.
ECO Mode
When ECO mode is selected (fuel
economy mode), vehicle torque and
speed are limited whereby an optimal
cruising speed is maintained in order
to reduce fuel consumption.
Refer to
OPERATING MODES
for de-
tailed instructions.
Standard Mode
In standard m ode, acceleration is re-
duced when accelerating from a com-
plete stop and when operating in the
low vehicle speed range under certain
conditions.
Sport Mode
In sport mode, maximum engine
power is available throughout the en-
gine operational range.
Refer to
OPERATING MODES
for de-
tailed instructions.
Learning Key Modes (Optional)
The Lynx
TM
learning key limits the en-
gine torque and speed of the snow-
mobile therefore enabling first time
users and less experienced operators
to learn how to operate the snowmo-
bile while gaining the necessary confi-
dence and control.
Limitations
The ability of a novice to operate the
snowmobile can be exceeded even
when a learning key is used.
Refer to
OPERATING MODES
for de-
tails.
