Operating the Shift Lever
Apply brakes and select the desired
shift lever position while the engine is
at idle.
Release brakes.
NOTICE
When changing gear se-
lection, always completely stop the
vehicle and apply the brakes prior
to shifting. Damage to the gearbox
may occur.
Choosing the Correct
Range (Low or High)
It is important to limit situations known
to make the drive belt slip excessively.
The main reason the drive belt will slip
is if the gearbox is in high range when it
should be in low range.
Pay attention to the following:
Low range
Low range should be used whenever:
– Pulling
– Pushing
– Hauling a load
– 4x4 applications
– Mud holes
– Water holes
– Crossing obstacles
– Climbing onto trailer
– Hill climbing
It is also recommended to use low
range if driving for prolonged periods
at speeds under 24 km/h (15 MPH)
Please refer to
BREAK-IN PERIOD
for
drive belt break-in information.
High range
High is the default riding range.
Electronic Drive Belt Protection
(if available and activated on your
model)
Some vehicles have the electronic
drive belt protection function acti-
vated.
Refer to your authorized Can-Am
dealer for availability and possible acti-
vation.
This function is activated when riding
at too slow speed for the
high range
,
such as in the following situations:
– Pulling
– Pushing
– Hauling a load
– 4x4 applications
– Mud holes
– Water holes
– Crossing obstacles
– Climbing onto trailer
– Hill climbing
In the above mentioned situations the
electronic drive belt protection will
help protect the CVT drive belt from
being damaged by activating the en-
gine torque limiter. The gauge will also
scroll a
LOW GEAR
message, sug-
gesting the operator to immobilize the
vehicle and set to LOW GEAR.
