ACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (iCONTROL)
Introduction
NOTE: Some functions or features de-
scribed in this section may not apply to
every PWC model, or may be available
as an option.
iControl
TM
(intelligent Control sys-
tems) provides an environment
whereby the operator can control
many systems without taking his
hands off the handlebars.
All controls are at the operator's finger
tips and activated by pressing a button
or pulling a lever. The operator's atten-
tion can thus remain focused on the
water and driving the watercraft.
Each control is electronic and provides
a command signal to an electronic
module whose function is to assure
proper operation of its system within
set parameters.
The various systems grouped under
iControl are the:
–iTC
TM
(intelligent Throttle Control)
– iBR (intelligent Brake and Reverse)
–iS
TM
(intelligent suspension)
– O.T.A.S.
TM
(Off Throttle Assisted
Steering).
These systems function together to
provide new features such as cruise
control, slow speed mode and braking,
improved watercraft response to oper-
ator inputs, increased maneuverability
and control.
It is extremely important for operators
to read all information contained in this
operator's guide so as to become fa-
miliar with this watercraft, its systems,
controls, capabilities 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 the following operating
modes:
– Touring mode
– Sport mode
–ECOmode
–Cruisemode
– Slow speed mode
–Skimode.
The OTAS (Off throttle Assisted Steer-
ing) is also controlled by the iTC.
Touring Mode
The Touring mode is the default riding
mode.
In touring mode, available engine
power and acceleration is reduced
when accelerating from a complete
stop and when operating in the low
engine power range under certain con-
ditions.
ECO Mode
GTX 155 Model
When ECO mode (FUEL ECONOMY
mode) is selected, fuel consumption is
reduced for any given RPM. This mode
is ideal when cruising and maximum
fuel efficiency is desired.
Refer to
OPERATING MODES
for de-
tailed instructions.
Sport Mode
In sport mode, maximum engine
power is available throughout the en-
gine operational range.
Refer to
OPERATING MODES
for de-
tailed instructions.
Cruise Mode
Cruise mode allows the operator to
set a desired maximum speed of the
watercraft when operating above
3800 RPM.
Cruise mode limits watercraft speed
but does not maintain it. The oper-
ator must hold the throttle lever de-
