Can-Am DEFENDER MAX Series 2021 User Manual

SECONDARY CONTROLS
WARNING
Rollovers, tipovers, collisions and
loss of control resulting in seri-
ous injury or death are possible
with the performance or normal
key. Using the normal key is not a
substitute for the operator being
prepared, qualified, and operating
with care.
Performance Key
The performance key allows the user
to a c ce ss the full torque of the engine
as well as the t op s peed of the vehicle.
This may be useful for riders who pre-
fer crisper throttle response, a nd for
environments where higher speeds
and greater accele ration are appro-
priate. For example, in w ide-open
straight trails, operators may prefer
the performance key.
Normal Key
The normal key limits the vehicle rate
of acceleration and/or the vehicle
speed to 70 km/h ( 43 MPH ).
Work key
The work k ey allows for usage of 100%
of maximum engine torque but limits
vehicle speed to 40 km/h (25 MPH) .
WARNING
On steep downhills, the engine
speed limiter may not prevent the
vehicle from accelerating beyond
this speed.
This key may be useful for riders who
prefer more gradual acceleration, or
for riding in environments where ful l
speed and high acceleration are not
desirable. For example, in na rrow,
winding trails, operators may prefer
a normal key.
