CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Engine Braking System (EBS) - 800cc Engines Only
Vehicles with an 800cc engine are equipped with an engine braking system. The primary wet clutch
assembly inside the engine uses a one-way bearing to create engine braking, which occurs when the throttle
is completely closed and the vehicle is at speed. It uses the engine’s compression/resistive force to slow the
over-driving transmission speed via the CVT drive belt, thereby slowing the entire vehicle gradually.
Engine braking is always active, and oers the most benet when:
Used in conjunction with 4WD and 4WD Di-Lock Modes.
Descending steep or slippery hills.
Descending rocky downhill terrain.
Slowing while towing heavy loads.
Assisting normal brake system application.
EBS is not a substitute for the vehicle brake system, although increased brake pad and disc life are realized
when EBS assists normal brake system operation. The EBS is non-adjustable, and does not contain any
user maintenance items. Contact your dealer for service.
