Introduction
NOTE: S ome functions or features de-
scribed in this section may not apply to
every model, or may be available as an

The throttle is electronic and prov ide s a
commandsignaltoanelectronicmod-
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-

its systems, con trols , ca pa bilities an d
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 followin g operating
modes:
–ECOmode
– Standard mode
– Sport mode.
ECO Mode
When ECO mod e 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
OPERATIN G MODES
subsec-
tion for detailed instructions.
Standard Mode
In standa rd mode, 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.

OPERATIN G MODES

tion for detailed instructions.
Learning Key Modes
The Ski-Doo
TM
learning ke y limits the
torque and speed of the snowmobile
therefore e n ab ling first tim e users an d
less experienced operators to learn
how to operate the snowmobile while
gaining the necessary confidence and
control.
Limitations
The ability of a novice to op erate the
snowmobile can be exceeded even
