Snowmobile Polaris FS IQ Widetrak (2013 year). Manual - part 7

FEATURES

Block Heater

Your snowmobile is equipped with an engine block heater. When
plugged into an electrical power source, the heater warms the engine,
which results in easier cold-weather starting.

The heater installed at the factory will be either a 110-volt heater with
the appropriate plug (for use in North America) or a 220-volt heater
with no plug (for international users).

Note: See your POLARIS dealer for installation of the appropriate heater plug

for your 220-volt heater.

Glove Box

The glove box is a heated dry stor-
age area intended for drying wet
gloves. Do not use the glove box for
items that could be damaged by
heat.

Turn the knob to release the glove
box cover latch and open the cover.

Shifter

For normal operation, place the
transmission in high gear. Whenever
towing or operating with a heavy
load, place the transmission in low
gear. See page 77. When operating
in low gear, vehicle speed will be
limited to protect the drive train.

FEATURES

Cargo Carrier

WARNING! Overloading or towing
improperly can alter vehicle
handling and can cause loss of
control.

• Whenever towing or operating

with a heavy load, place the
transmission in low gear. See
page 77.

• Do not exceed the cargo carrier

capacity.

• Always reduce speed and allow

greater distance for braking and
turning when carrying cargo or a
passenger, or when towing.

• Always secure cargo before

operating vehicle.

• Overloading or carrying tall, off-center, or unsecured loads will increase your

risk of losing control. Loads should be centered, carried as low as possible,
and firmly secured to the carrier.

• Be careful if load extends over the side of the carrier.

The maximum weight capacity for the cargo carrier is 75 lbs. (34.1 kg).
Do not allow a passenger to sit on the seat back or in the cargo carrier.

NOTICE: Do not drive aggressively or jump your vehicle when operating with

heavy loads in the cargo carrier. This may cause vehicle damage.

12-Volt DC Outlet

Use the 12-volt DC outlet to power
a global positioning sensor (GPS),
heated helmet shield, utility light,
cell phone or other accessories.

The 12-volt DC outlet is located on
the console near the shift lever.

1. Turn the engine off and restart it. If the light goes off, continued

operation is permissible.

vehicle speed is limited, then check the charts on page 33 to identify
the cause.

Tip: If you are unable to determine the cause of an illuminated MIL, please see

your POLARIS dealer.
