SAFETY
INFORMATION
____ SAFETY INFORMATION ___ 9

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breath-
ing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness,
nausea, confusion and eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that may be
present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly, and you can quickly be
overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poison-
ing, leave the area immediately, get fresh air and seek medical treat-
ment.
To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide:
– Never run the vehicle in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed ar-
eas such as garages, carports or barns. Even if you try to venti-
late engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon
monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
– Never run the vehicle outdoors where engine exhaust can be
drawn into a building through openings such as windows and
doors.
Avoid Gasoline Fires and Other Hazards
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. Fuel vapors
can spread and be ignited by a spark or flame many feet away from
the engine. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, follow these in-
structions:
– Use only an approved gasoline container to store fuel.
– Strictly adhere to instructions in
VEHICLE FUELING PROCE-
DURE
.
– Never start or operate the engine if the fuel cap is not properly in-
stalled.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or death.
– Never siphon gasoline by mouth.
– If you swallow gasoline, get any in your eye or inhale gasoline va-
por, see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on you, wash with soap and water and change your
clothes.
10 ____SAFETY INFORMATION____

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Burns from Hot Parts
The exhaust system and engine become hot during operation. Avoid
contact during and shortly after operation to avoid burns.
Accessories and Modifications
Do not make unauthorized modifications, or use attachments or ac-
cessories that are not approved by BRP. Since these changes have
not been tested by BRP, they may increase the risk of crashes or in-
juries, and they can make the vehicle illegal.
Tunnel accessories must be loaded onto vehicle as per instructions
provided for each accessories.
Accessory passenger seats approved by BRP and conforming to
SSCC standards may be available for certain models. If such a seat
is used, you must follow the guidelines and recommendations in
regards to a passenger in this guide.
WARNING
Passenger seat must have a strap or handholds and must meet
SSCC standards.
See your authorized Lynx dealer for available accessories for your ve-
hicle.
____SAFETY INFORMATION ___ 11

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these in-
structions:
– Always make a pre-ride inspection BEFORE you start the engine.
– Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement and
return to idle position before starting engine.
– Always attach tether cord eyelet to clothing before starting the
engine.
– Never operate the engine without belt guard and brake disk
guard securely installed or, with hood or side panels opened
or removed. Never run the engine without drive belt installed.
Running an unloaded engine such as without drive belt or with
track raised, can be dangerous.
– Always engage parking brake before starting the engine.
– Everyone is a beginner the first time he sits behind the controls
of a snowmobile regardless of previous experience in driving any
other type of vehicle. The safe use of your snowmobile depends
on many conditions such as visibility, speed, weather, environ-
ment, traffic, vehicle condition and the condition of the operator.
– Basic training is required for the safe operation of any snow-
mobile. Study your operator's guide paying particular attention
to cautions and warnings. Join your local snowmobile club: its
social activities and trail systems are planned for both fun and
safety. Obtain basic instructions from your snowmobile dealer,
friend, fellow club member or enroll in your state or provincial
safety training program.
– Any new operator must read and understand all safety labels on
the snowmobile, the Operator's Guide and watch the
SAFETY
VIDEO
at www.brplynx.com/en/owners/safety/safety-informa-
tion.html before operating the snowmobile. Only allow a new
operator to operate the snowmobile in a restricted flat area, at
least until he is completely familiar with its operation. If snow-
mobile operator's training course is offered in your area, have
him enroll.
– The performance of some snowmobiles may significantly exceed
that of other snowmobiles you have operated. Therefore, use by
novice or inexperienced operators is not recommended.
– Snowmobiles are used in many areas and in many snow condi-
tions. Not all models perform the same in similar conditions. Al-
ways consult your snowmobile dealer when selecting the snow-
mobile model for your particular needs and uses.
12 ____SAFETY INFORMATION____

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Injury or death may result to the snowmobile operator, passenger
or bystander if the snowmobile is used in risky conditions which
are beyond the operator's, passenger's or snowmobile's capabil-
ities or intended use.
– BRP recommends the operator has at least 16 years old of age.
Verify also your local laws for age and training requirements.
– It is very important to inform any operator, regardless of his
experience, of the handling characteristics of this snowmobile.
The snowmobile configuration, such as ski stance, ski type, sus-
pension type, track length, width and type vary from a model to
another. The snowmobile handling is greatly influenced by these
characteristics.
– The novice operator should become familiar with the snowmobile
through practice on a level area at slow speeds before venturing
far afield.
– Know your local laws. Federal, state, provincial and local gov-
ernment agencies have enacted laws and regulations pertaining
to the safe use and operation of snowmobiles. It is your re-
sponsibility as a snowmobiler to learn and obey these laws and
regulations. Respect and observance will result in safer snow-
mobiling for all. Be aware of the liability property damages and
insurance laws regarding your equipment.
– Speeding can be fatal. In many cases, you cannot react or re-
spond quickly enough to the unexpected. Always ride at a speed
which is suitable to the trail, weather conditions and your own
ability. Know your local rules. Speed limit may be in effect and
meanttobeobserved.
– Always keep right hand side of the trail.
– Always keep a safe distance from other snowmobiles and by-
standers.
– Remember, promotional material may show risky maneuvers per-
formed by professional riders under ideal and/or controlled condi-
tions. You should never attempt any such risky maneuvers if they
are beyond your level of riding ability.
– Never use this vehicle with drugs or alcohol. They slow reaction
time and impair judgement.
– Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public
streets, roads or highways.
____SAFETY INFORMATION ___ 13

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Avoid road traveling. If you must do so, and it is permitted, re-
duce speed. The snowmobile is not designed to operate or turn
on paving. When crossing a road, make a full stop, then look
carefully in both directions before crossing at a 90° angle. Be
wary of parked vehicles.
– Snowmobiling at night can be a delightful experience but be-
cause of reduced visibility, be extra cautious. Avoid unfamiliar
terrain and be sure your lights are working. Always carry a flash-
light and spare light bulbs.
– Never remove any original equipment from your snowmobile.
Each vehicle has many built in safety features. Such features
include various guards and consoles, plus reflective materials
and safety labels.
– Nature is wonderful but don't let it distract your attention from
driving. If you want to truly appreciate winter's scenery, stop
your snowmobile on the side of the trail so that you don't become
a hazard to others.
– Fences represent a very serious threat for both you and your
snowmobile. Give a wide berth to telephone poles or posts.
– Hidden wires unseen from a distance can cause serious acci-
dents.
– Always wear an approved safety helmet, eye protection and a
face shield. This also applies to your passenger.
– Be aware of inherent risks associated with riding off trails, such as
avalanche and other natural or man made hazards or obstacles.
– Tailgating another snowmobile should be avoided. If the snow-
mobile in front of you slows for any reason, its operator and
passenger could be harmed through your neglect. Maintain a
safe stopping distance between you and the snowmobile in front
of you. Depending on the terrain condition, stopping may require
a little more space than you think. Play it safe. Be prepared to
use evasive driving.
– Venturing out alone with your snowmobile could also be haz-
ardous. You could run out of fuel, have an accident, or damage
your snowmobile. Remember, your snowmobile is capable of
traveling further in half an hour than you may be able to walk
in a day. Use the “buddy system”. Always ride with a friend
or member of your snowmobile club. Even then, tell someone
where you are going and the approximate time you plan to return.
14 ____SAFETY INFORMATION____

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Meadows sometimes have low areas where water accumulate
and freezes over in winter. This ice is usually glare ice. Attempt-
ing to turn or brake on this surface could cause your vehicle to
spin out of control. Never brake or attempt speeding or turning
on glare ice. If you do happen to travel over such a condition,
reduce speed by carefully releasing the throttle.
– Never “jump” with your snowmobile.
– While on safari, do not “gun” the throttle. Snow and ice can be
thrown back into the path of a following snowmobile. In addition,
when “gunning” the throttle, the vehicle digs into and leaves an
irregular snow surface for others.
– Safaris are both fun and enjoyable but don't show off or overtake
others in the group. A less experienced operator might try to do
the same as you and fail. When riding with others, limit your abil-
ities to the experience of others.
– In an emergency, the snowmobile engine can be stopped by
pressing down on the emergency engine stop switch or by
pulling the tether cord cap from the engine cut-off switch, while
applying brake.
– Always engage parking brake when vehicle is not in use.
– Never run the engine in a non-ventilated area and/or if vehicle is
left unattended.
–Electric start models only: Never charge or boost a battery
while installed on snowmobile.
– Never attempt any fuel system or electrical system maintenance
or repair. Any maintenance or repair of these systems must be
performed by an authorized Lynx dealer.
– Ensure the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders before
proceeding in reverse.
– Always remove the tether cord cap from engine cut-off switch
when vehicle is not in operation in order to prevent accidental
engine starting, to avoid unauthorized use by children or others
or theft.
– NEVER stand behind or near a rotating track. Debris could be
projected causing severe injuries. To remove packed snow or
ice, stop engine, tilt and hold vehicle on its side and use wrench
tool on the belt guard.
– Do not stud the track unless it has been approved for studs. At
speed, a studded track that has not been approved for studs could
tear and separate from vehicle. See an authorized Lynx dealer for
current specific studding availability and applications.
____SAFETY INFORMATION ___ 15

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– You may stud the track on this vehicle model. However, you
MUST only use the BRP approved type stud for use on Lynx
snowmobiles. DO NOT EVER use conventional studs because
the track thickness is thinner then our standard tracks. The stud
could tear off of track and separate from vehicle.
– Always wear an approved helmet and follow the same dressing
guidelines as those recommended for the operator and described
in this guide.
– Make sure that you are able to achieve a stable stance, both feet
resting positively on the footboards of footrests with good grip,
and that you are able to hold on firmly to the handholds.
– Do not forget, with 2-UP models, the operator is responsible for
the safety of the passenger. Always remember that the snowmo-
bile handling, stability and braking distance may be affected when
riding with a passenger.
– Before riding the vehicle, ask your passenger to inform you to
slowdown or stop immediately if he feels uncomfortable or in-
secure during the ride. Keep a watchful eye on your passenger
while riding.
16 ____SAFETY INFORMATION____

ACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (iTC) (900 ACE)
Introduction
NOTE: Some functions or features described in this section may not
apply to every model, or may be available as an option.
The throttle is electronic and provides a command signal to an elec-
tronic module whose function is to assure proper operation of its sys-
tem within set parameters.
It is extremely important for operators to read all information con-
tained in this operator's guide so as to become familiar with this
snowmobile, its systems, controls, capabilities and limitations.
iTC (intelligent Throttle Control)
The system uses an electronic throttle control (ETC) that provides
command signals to the ECM (Engine Control Module). With this
system, there is no need for a traditional throttle cable.
The iTC allows the following operating modes:
– ECO mode
– Standard mode
– Sport mode.
ECO Mode
When ECO mode is selected (fuel economy mode), vehicle torque
and speed are limited whereby an optimal cruising speed is main-
tained in order to reduce fuel consumption.
Refer to
OPERATING MODES subsection for detailed instructions.
Standard Mode
In standard mode, acceleration is reduced when accelerating from a
complete stop and when operating in the low vehicle speed range
under certain conditions.
Sport Mode
In sport mode, maximum engine power is available throughout the
engine operational range.
Refer to
OPERATING MODES subsection for detailed instructions.
