The following is a look at the features and functions of the digital instrument cluster on your Polaris RANGER, ACE, Sportsman or Scrambler. Some features are not applicable to all models.
Note that the use of a high pressure washer may damage the instrument cluster. Wash the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose, using mild soap. Do not use alcohol to clean the instrument cluster. Do not allow insect sprays to contact the lens. Immediately clean off any gasoline that splashes on the instrument cluster.

Low Speed Limiter
Model year 2020 and older Sportsman 450 and 570 Utility Edition models are equipped with a Variable Low Speed Limiter. This feature limits how fast the vehicle can go (7-14 mph) and is used when mowing, towing, plowing, spraying or doing other low speed work. When this feature is enabled, the indicator light on the right-hand side of the console will illuminate a turtle icon. Watch Enabling and Disabling the Variable Low Speed Limiter for a demonstration.
Using Bluetooth® (If Equipped)
Certain Sportsman and ACE models come equipped with Bluetooth® capabilities. Watch the following video and skip to 2:40 for more on how to connect to a Bluetooth®-enabled gauge.
On some model year 2021 and newer Sportsman models, you can use Bluetooth® and the Polaris App to do things like create geofences and set speed limits on your ATV. For more on that, read Using Geofences and Speed Limits on Your ATV. To learn more about the available features on your RANGER 150 youth vehicle, read RIDE COMMAND for Your RANGER 150.
