Do not wash the electronic speedometer with a high pressure washer. Wash the unit by hand or with a garden hose. High water pressure may allow water to enter the speedometer and cause damage to the electronic components. Speedometer Your Polaris ATV is equipped with a new electronic speedometer which senses vehicle speed from the right hand front wheel. The electronic speedometer measures distance in miles and kilometers as well as hours of operation. To display each mode, press the button on the face of the speedometer once to toggle through the functions. Each function will be displayed as shown: Miles / Kilometers Trip Miles / Kilometers Hours To reset Trip Miles / Kilometers: 1. Toggle to Trip Miles / Kilometers. 2. Hold down button approximately 4 seconds. To change distance measurement from Miles to Kilometers or vice versa: 1. Toggle to odometer. 2. Hold down the button approximately 8 seconds until the word FARIA appears in the display, then release the button. If the last digit in the display is a K, the measurement is Kilometers, if the last digit is an M, the measurement is Miles. The speedometer also includes a reverse speed limit function that limits the ATVs speed in reverse after approximately 7 to 9 mph. 00000.0 000.0 00000.0
