The tether cord cap has an integrated
D.E.S.S. key to provide you and your
snowmobile with the equivalent secu-
rity of a conventional lock key.
The D.E.S.S. key containsan electronic
chip which features a unique perma-
nently memorized digital code.
Your authorized Ski-Doo dealer has pro-
gramed the D.E.S.S. of your snowmo-
bile to recognize the D.E.S.S. key in the
tether cord cap to allow vehicle opera-
tion.
If another tether cord is used without
programming the D.E.S.S., the engine
will start but will not reach drive pulley
engagement speed to move vehicle.
Make sure the D.E.S.S. key is free of
dirt or snow.
