EPS (Electric Power Steering)
(SXS700M2D/M4D only)
This SXS is equipped with an electronically controlled, electric
power-assisted steering system.
While the engine is running, the EPS (Electric Power Steering) system
provides power from the electric motor, which helps you to turn the
SXS’s steering wheel more easily.
The EPS system on this SXS utilizes an overheat protection feature to
prevent damage to system components. In certain extended,
repetitive high-load situations the EPS indicator will illuminate and
the system will reduce or even disable power steering assist. The
steering will perform as a normal non-EPS system during this brief
period. If this occurs, safely stop the vehicle and allow the EPS system
to cool down until the EPS indicator goes off. After cooling down,
steering will return to normal EPS operation.
The EPS indicator should light when the ignition switch is turned on
and remain on until the engine is started.
The EPS indicator also lights when there is any abnormality in the EPS
system. If this occurs, the electric power assist for turning will not be
available, but the manual steering system will perform as usual.
If the EPS indicator lights at any time while riding, other than the
temporary overheat condition described above, reduce speed and
take your SXS to your dealer as soon as possible. Continuing to ride
with a EPS system problem can damage system components.
Do not modify your EPS system. In case of a malfunction, take your
SXS to your dealer.
