ACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (iCONTROL)
Introduction
NOTE: Some functions or features de-
scribed in this section may not apply to
every PWC model, or may be available
as an option.
iControl
TM
(intelligent Control sys-
tems) provides an environment
whereby the operator can control
many systems without taking his
hands off the handlebars.
All controls are at the operator's finger
tips and activated by pressing a button
or pulling a lever. The operator's atten-
tion can thus remain focused on the
water and driving the watercraft.
Each control is electronic and provides
a command signal to an electronic
module whose function is to assure
proper operation of its system within
set parameters.
The various systems grouped under
iControl are the:
–iTC
TM
(intelligent Throttle Control)
– iBR (intelligent Brake and Reverse)
–iS
TM
(intelligent suspension)
– O.T.A.S. (Off Throttle Assisted
Steering).
These systems function together to
provide new features such as cruise
control, slow speed mode and braking,
improved watercraft response to oper-
ator inputs, increased maneuverability
and control.
It is extremely important for operators
to read all information contained in this
operator's guide so as to become fa-
miliar with this watercraft, 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 new functions such
as touring/sport mode, cruise con-
trol, slow speed mode, ski mode and
O.T.A.S.
TM
as well as a more precise
control of the engine power.
Touring/Sport Mode
Touring/Sport mode allows the oper-
ator to choose between sport mode
for instant throttle response, or tour-
ingmodeforprogressivethrottlere-
sponse at certain engine regimes.
In sport mode, maximum engine
power is available throughout the en-
gine operational range.
In touring mode, available engine
power and acceleration is reduced
when accelerating from a complete
stop and when operating in the low
engine power range under certain con-
ditions.
When throttle is applied in touring
mode, the engine will progressively
accelerate to an operating range
whereby full power eventually be-
comes available as if operating in sport
mode. If the engine is throttled down
sufficiently and for a long enough pe-
riod of time, engine power and acceler-
ationwillagainbereduced.
Cruise Control
Cruise control allows the operator
to set a desired maximum speed of
the watercraft when operating above
3800 RPM.
Cruise control limits watercraft speed
but does not maintain it. The oper-
ator must hold the throttle lever de-
pressed to maintain forward speed,
unlikeanautomotivetypecruisecon-
trol which maintains a constant speed
while throttle pedal is released.
As you proceed under a constant cruis-
ing speed setting, hold the throttle
lever fully depressed in order to keep
your full attention to maintaining good
situational awareness.
