CONTROLS, COMPONENTS AND
INSTRUMENTS FUNCTIONS
1) Safety Lanyard
(engine cut-off cord)
The safety lanyard cap should be se-
curely snapped onto its post to be fully
operational.
Pulling the safety lanyard cap from its
post stops the engine operation. At-
tach the safety lanyard to the opera-
tor’s Personal Flotation Device (PFD)
and snap the cap to the post to be able
to start the engine.
Two short beeps indicates the system
is ready to allow engine starting. Oth-
erwise, refer to the TROUBLESHOOT-
ING section for the coded signals chart.

Digitally Encoded Security
System (DESS)
The safety lanyard cap specifically con-
tains an electronic circuit that gives it
a unique electronic serial number. This
is the equivalent of a conventional key.
This safety lanyard cannot be used on
another watercraft and conversely, the
one from another watercraft cannot be
used on your watercraft.
However, the DESS brings a great flex-
ibility. You can buy an additional safety
lanyard and have it programmed for
your watercraft.
The DI Model also offers a special
safety lanyard — the SEA-DOO LK
TM
(SEA-DOO Learning Key
TM
) — which
electronically limits the speed of the
watercraft to approximately 55 km/h
(35 MPH) therefore enabling first time
users and less experienced operators
to learn how to operate the watercraft
while gaining the necessary confidence
and control.

WARNING
Should the engine be stopped, wa-
tercraft directional control is lost.
Always disconnect safety lanyard
when watercraft is not in opera-
tion in order to prevent accidental
engine starting or to avoid unau-
thorized use by children or others
or theft.
